    Slices of vegan fudge on a dish with cacao nibs sprinkled on top.

    An easy fudge recipe made with only 2 ingredients that is dairy-free and gluten-free. This fail-proof recipe does not use the stove and can be made in 5 minutes.

    This easy fudge recipe is much healthier than the traditional fudge recipes which contain heavy cream and refined sugar. That's because this 2-ingredient fudge is made primarily from two healthy ingredients, quality chocolate and nut butter. No cooking is needed either, not even on the stove. So if you love my rocky road fudge, and my pumpkin fudge, you'll love this recipe too.

    Why You'll Love This

    Easy to make in a loaf pan. Just mix two melted ingredients and spread in a loaf pan. It hardens fast, then slice in rods or chunks.

    Nutritious. Fudge and nutrition don't sound related but this fudge is because of both the nut butter and the chocolate chips. Peanut butter is high in protein and chocolate is full of mood-boosting components such as magnesium and flavonoids which protect neuro function, boost memory as well as trigger mood hormones.

    Ingredients

    easy recipe fudge ingredients

    Nut butter: Use a natural nut butter with only nuts as the ingredient, no added sugar. Don't use mainstream brands such as Jif or you'll be making a fudge with a lot of sugar and additives.

    Chocolate: I used chocolate chips with about 70% cacao, but you can use a chocolate bar as well. The higher the percentage of cacao, the healthier the fudge. Choose a refined-sugar-free brand such as HU.

    See the recipe card at the bottom for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    melted chocolate in a measuring cup and melted peanut butter.

    Step 1. Add the chocolate chips and nut butter to a glass pyrex measuring cup and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Microwave in increments of 15 seconds if you need further heating to remove lumps.

    easy fudge poured into a pan.

    Step 2. Pour fudge into either a loaf pan lined with parchment or a mold. Tap to remove bubbles and level surface. At this point, sprinkle top if you want with sprinkles or cacao nibs or more chocolate chips or crushed nuts.

    Step 3. Either chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm, or speed set in freezer for about 10 minutes depending on your mold or container.

    How to Store

    This easy fudge last two weeks stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, and three months in the freezer.

    FAQS

    Can I use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk for fudge?

    You don't need either one when you make fudge with peanut butter and melted chocolate.

    Does this fudge have flour or heavy cream or refined sugar?

    No, this recipe only has peanut butter and melted chocolate.

    Can you remelt fudge?

    Sure! Just put in a pyrex measuring cup and microwave for about 30 seconds and stir. Use melted fudge for cake or ice cream, or pour in a different mold to make shapes. Refrigerate until solid again.

    Use in Candy Molds

    Use this fudge as a filler for many other recipes, including in molds for lollipops, or shapes for holidays.

        Hi Danielle, I used chocolate chips but you can use a chocolate bar if you chop it finely. You just need to be able to melt it.

      Wow, this looks incredible Dee! I love, love that you used all cashew butter in place of milk, what a wonderful idea! I use cashew butter in my chocolate truffles and I love the smooth creamy texture so much! These are so simple and so beautiful!
