This Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge is just like regular fudge — super rich, uber decadent and tooth-achingly sweet — but it’s secretly healthy and guilt-free! Yup, that means no three sticks of butter, no four cups of sugar and no heavy splashes of corn syrup or heavy cream… just pure, fudgy peanut buttery goodness.
This Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge is dense, thick, and packed with that cuddly cozy peanut butter richness. Each piece of fudge is just as comforting as a spoonful of peanut butter right out of the jar. We’ve alllll been there. You know what I’m talking about 😉
Another good thing about this fudge is that it doesn’t have that annoying stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth kind of texture. Some people like that but I hate it. Oh goodness, this fudge is heaven. BIG taste, mini package. But it’s not as sinful as it looks and tastes. Not to mention, it’s SO. DARN. EASY.
It’s made entirely in a food processor, which is fast, easy, and super convenient. Just dump all the ingredients inside, blend, and BAM… it’s all smooth and even.
One BIG shocker here is that I was actually perfectly satisfied with just a few pieces of fudge… I didn’t feel totally out of control and like I wanted to plow through the entire pan. That’s probably because it’s full of filling protein and fiber, and doesn’t have any addictive sugar. Despite how freaking delicious it is, I was perfectly happy with just a few pieces at a time.
