Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Before being diabetic I hated chocolate. About 2 months before being diagnosed my chocolate loving switch was flipped and of course now that I am diabetic - it's not the best thing in the world for me.
I've never been much for fudge and I have never made a regular batch of fudge either. But this stuff is actually pretty darn good!

It is very rich so small pieces are plenty!
I obtained this recipe from lowcarbyum's blog.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2/3 cup powdered sweetener (Sukrin Melis* or Swerve Confectioners) I used a combination of powdered swerve and straight erythritol.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or ghee
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon cocoa


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Line a small container with parchment paper. (I used 7.5 x 5 size)
  2. Place sweetener, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Mix coconut oil, milk, and cocoa in small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  4. Pour hot mixture over the ingredients in medium bowl. Stir until well combined.
  5. Spread into prepared container. Allow to cool in refrigerator. Slice into squares. Store in the fridge.


Nutrition facts are from the blog I obtained the recipe from. It is always good to recheck nutrtion facts for yourself.
