    cups of chocolate fudge

    An easy chocolate fudge recipe that makes a creamy fudge treat that is high in protein and has all the nourishment of nuts and dark chocolate. Made in under half an hour and only 2 ingredients.

    This easy chocolate fudge recipe is the best dessert to find in your freezer, especially when it is made with healthier ingredients. Sure you can make fudge the traditional way with cream and chocolate, but making it with a healthy nut butter tastes as indulgent and is oh so much healthier.

    Like most of my chocolate recipes, this is a no bake and no cook recipe, unless you count melting the chocolate for a minute in the microwave. And if you like this fudge, you'll love my easy fudge recipe and my peanut butter fudge, both made just as easily but with twists.

    How to Make

    It's easy to make just as the name says.

    1. Put chocolate chips and all other ingredients in a glass pyrex measuring cup and microwave for 1 minute.

    2. Stir and microwave again for 15 seconds. It should be all melted but if not repeat.

    3. Pour the mixture into molds or in a loaf pan. If you prefer pouring into a loaf pan, don't worry if it doesn't reach the edges. Letting it form a flat oval replicates a fudge shop slab.

    4. Chill the mold or pan in the refrigerator until they are firm. Molds might take longer to chill before you can remove the fudge.

    FAQS

    What is the Secret to Making Fudge?

    The secret to making fudge is to melt the chocolate and other ingredients sufficiently.

    What are the Ingredients of Fudge?

    The ingredients of traditional fudge are sugar, butter and cream. The ingredients of healthy fudge are melted dark chocolate and nut or seed butter.

    What Makes Fudge Harden?

    This chocolate fudge recipe hardens using a cold temperature. The healthy fats in the nut or seed butter harden as the treat turns cold.

    Why Does My Fudge Taste Grainy?

    Stirring the warm fudge sufficiently is key to keeping the texture smooth and reduce any grainy flavor.

    Holiday Chocolate Fudge Recipes

    Although the main way I use this recipe is to put the fudge in mold, there are many different ways to mold the fudge. For instance, you can pour it onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and make bark. Or use other molds, such as holiday forms. Here is a recent Halloween version.

    Instructions
     

    Prep

    • Measure out ingredients.
    • Use silicon molds or line a cupcake pan with paper liners.

    Make fudge

    • Put the peanut butter and chocolate chips in a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup, and microwave for 60 seconds. Stir until melted. If chips remain, microwave again for 30 seconds.
    • When fully blended, pour into a piping bag to more neatly deposit the fudge into molds. Or use a spoon.
    • Freeze the pan or mold until chocolate is set - probably at least ½ an hour or until you can get the squares out of the mold easily.
    • Keep the fudge in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to eat, or frozen for 3 months in an air-tight container.
