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!

  1. I love this recipe sooooooo much! My daughter loves making it, and she’s a really picky eater. She usually doubles the recipe to make the stash last longer. She does a lot of sports, so its an easy grab and go if shes in a rush. Its so quick and easy to make, and it tastes so delicious! The only thing I would say is that its not really a travel/party recipe, because like chocolate, it will melt a little onto your hands once it starts warming up. But over all, I would definitely recommend trying it!

  2. yum yum! i made 1/4 of the recipe because i have no self-control around peanut butter 😉 and these taste delicious! filled up two silicone muffin cups.

  3. This was a good recipe, thank you. Loving chocolate I prefer your chocolate freezer fudge more, but this worked while we were out of cacao powder.

  4. Just make this! Omitted sweetener. Added unsweetened coconut and sprinkled coco powder on top! So goooood, thanks for the inspiration.

  5. seriously…tastes JUST like my mom’s, and there is Nothing healthy about that old recipe that i love so much. thanks!
