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.
This is kinda like that fudge.
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!

Reader Feedback: What’s your favorite quick and easy dessert? I’m pretty hooked on Raw Almond Butter Fudge, but when the almond butter jar is empty, this peanut butter variation works in a pinch!
This turned out great. My kids loved it but does melt quickly as my toddler discovered!
Oh yeah… I also added a tiny bit of coconut flour.
I just did this recipe with almond butter. I also made an off the cuff crumble to go on top. Poppy seeds, coconut sugar, cacao nibs, dates pitted and chopped (or pulled), and raisins. I hope it turns out well!
These were divine! My hubby loved them. Even more than the almond fudge!
5 stars!!!
Totally delicious! I made two variations.
In one I added two tbsp of sugar free naturally sweet strawberry preserves to them. I put a small dollop in each, in about 16 mini paper cups. I used a mini muffin pan. They were amazing! Like mini PB & Js. Yum!
In the other I added two tbsp of good quality unsweetened cocoa and an additional tsp of maple syrup. I didn’t have honey. Also got 16 mini pieces of fudge.
So amazing and healthy!
OMG — this was delicious but I used coconut butter instead of coconut oil.. I also doubled the recipe.
Delicious
Just discovered your website while googling a clean PB fudge and OH MY GOD- this is amazing! Can’t wait to try out your other recipes as well! 🙂
I have been making this and keeping it in the freezer for a quick and easy dessert or snack. My husband loves it! I try to keep some in the freezer at all times so I end up making it almost weekly.
Oh god. I’m a self-confessed peanut butter addict, these are in the freezer right now! however, I only made a super tiny bit (just enough to satisfy myself) and I put it in mini cupcake paper cups instead 🙂
So I am in love with this recipe! It’s just so creamy and wonderful… and EASY! I tried it first with a thicker bar like you have pictured, but I so prefer it spread thin so that it sort of melts in your mouth. YUM. I had a hard time not licking my bowl clean the first time I made it haha. Thank you for posting this! This is actually now my favorite quick dessert 🙂 I’ll have to try the almond butter version as it’s my favorite nut butter, this is just the one I decided to try first and it’s hard to switch since it’s so yummy!
