Peanut Butter (coconut oil) Fudge


Here's a variation of our Good-For-You Coconut Oil Fudge.  The husband & children like it better, probably since it tastes a little less rich and a lot more like a Reese's Cup.

I like to stock our freezer with both recipes, though.  One for me & one for them, right?  It's only fair.



Peanut Butter (coconut oil) Fudge

Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter (we like the "natural" one- or two-ingredient variety)
1/4 cup honey, more or less to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt (if your peanut butter contains salt, omit this)



Directions:
1. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap.
2. Melt the coconut oil in a glass measuring cup.
3. Add remaining ingredients to the oil & whisk till smooth.
4. Dip in your clean finger, & taste to make sure it's sweet enough; if not, add more honey.
5. Pour into the lined loaf pan, & freeze until solid.
6. Turn the fudge out out of the pan, cut into bite-sized pieces, & hide them from the rest of your family behind the frozen peas in your freezer.
7.  Just kidding.  Share with your fam.  It's healthy, remember?  You've got the less-Reese's-tasting kind for yourself.

Enjoy!




 Oops.  I forgot to take a pic of the finished product.  Maybe next time..
