Back in college, when I first ventured into the world of veganism, one of my favorite desserts was vegan peanut butter fudge.

Loaded with margarine and powdered sugar, it wasn’t any healthier than non-vegan fudge, but it was easy to make and tasted absolutely delicious.

Still quick and easy to prepare, this peanut butter fudge is much healthier than the original, using only a handful of wholesome ingredients. It’s perfect for those moments when you need a sweet treat in a hurry!
