A few years ago, while on a beach vacation in Delaware, I walked into a little candy shop along the boardwalk selling homemade fudge in enticing flavors such as Chocolate Pecan, Sea Salt Caramel, Toasted Coconut, Pumpkin Walnut, and Classic Peanut Butter.
It would have been impossible for any person to come out of that shop not craving fudge, and as soon as the trip ended I turned my apartment into its own fudge factory by making my own homemade healthy peanut butter fudge.
The original plan had been to try out other flavors too, but the peanut butter ended up being so good that I never even got that far!
What would be your dream fudge flavor?
Chocolate Banana Bread? Caramel Popcorn Fudge? Maple French Toast? York Peppermint Patty? Sugar Cookie Dough? Chocolate Chip Sea Salt Fudge?
Please feel free to list as many ideas as you wish in the comments!
Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly sub
- 1 overripe banana OR 2/3 cup coconut butter
- optional 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp salt, or more to taste if using unsalted peanut butter
- 2 tbsp coconut butter OR melted virgin coconut oil (For coconut-free, try these Keto Brownie Bombs)
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp powdered sugar or pure maple syrup
Instructions
- If peanut butter is not stir-able, gently heat until you are able to easily stir it. Either combine all ingredients in a small blender until completely smooth, OR mash the banana and stir together ingredients very patiently by hand until completely smooth. Scoop into a small plastic container OR parchment-lined glass container OR candy molds OR mini cupcake liners. (You have options!) Freeze until firm. Due to the melty nature of coconut, this fudge is best stored in the freezer.View Nutrition Facts

This looks heavenly! I love fudge, whatever the flavour is, but it would be cool to have a healthy recipe for butter pecan fudge, chocolate-Orange fudge, and/or cinnamon roll (or snickerdoodle) fudge!
Maralyn Woods says
For butter pecan fudge I use 1 bag of butterscotch chips and one can of butter pecan frosting. Melt the chips in the mw for 3 minutes at 50%. If you use full power stir and check every 30 seconds. Stir the frosting into the chips and pour into a parchment lined 8×8 inch pan and put in fridge. I keep mine in the fridge for as long as it lasts (which is not long at all!) Now, anyone have the snickerdoodle fudge recipe Danielle is looking for?

Tina says
What about using cinnamon chips with vanilla frosting? I have not tried it but thought it might be an option.
Maralyn Woods says
I think that sounds like a winner, Tina. Maybe add a fist full of dried cherries. Would look spectacular when you cut it.
katie says
Thanks so much, now to find that frosting….
Megan says
Oh yum! I want to dive right into that!!!!
Lauren says
This looks so freakin delicious!
Lauren says
Oh and dream flavor would have to be that sea salt caramel fudge you mentioned. Please make that!
Melissa says
I make that every year for Christmas. Of course it’s NOT the healthy kind!
Lesha says
Omg! That looks quite delicious! Pinterest would really love if you would make some sort of orange creamsicle fudge ( I love orange+marshmallow ), and some of that delicious sea salt fudge. But maybe with some other ingredients besides banana and coconut. That would be super fun to experiment with. Thanks!

How about key lime pie fudge?
Double chocolate fudge
Chocolate raspberry fudge
Orange vanilla fudge
Sarah says
And I second that sea salt caramel fudge! YUM.
Lindsey says
Looks yummy! Can’t wait to make it! I also second sea salted caramel fudge….. 😀 I’m assuming that to make this 2 WW P+, you make about 15 servings? Did you use a 9×13? Thanks!
EVA says
You already have chocolate PB fudge, why omit the chocolate?!
I actually think every delicious flavor of fudge that could be dreamt up has been made. I’m personally a cookies ‘n cream fiend, so that’d have to be mine. Boring, but such a tasty and foolproof classic! Or maybe a fudge that incorporates the ingredients of my favorite childhood dessert- Drumsticks! A vanilla base blended with chunks of waffle cone, coated in chocolate and rolled in peanuts. Now to find a GF waffle cone to attempt this….
Cathy says
FINALLY!!!!!
I was looking so long for a recipe like this! I loooove Fudge, but when you’re trying to loose some pounds you can’t afford to eat it. But now … 😀
Thank you so much for sharing!
Now I’m just missing a chocolate and a caramel fudge. Yummie.
Rebecca says
Looks absolutely yummy!
Dream fudge:
Sweet & sour combo: lemon or lime
Sweet & salty: salted caramel
Jules @ WolfItDown says
This is genius! I haven’t seen a vegan recipe for peanut butter fudge until now, but they sound amazing! So much flavour in each bite, yum ^ ^
Kalena says
I love how with all of your recipes, these are things that I could make on the spot because I normally have all of the ingredients. Love your website and recipes. Can’t wait to try this one!
Jessica says
At our end of the year party a couple years ago, there was a fudge tray that included, among other things, cookie dough. I regretfully ate quite a bit of it.
Katie M says
I am in love with freezer fudges! So excited to try this one 🙂
About how many pieces does this recipe make? The nutrition info says per 18 g, but what fraction of the recipe would that be?
Debbie says
Smores fudge!
Danielle says
Boo! Out of bananas and coconut oil! Time to build a new grocery list!!! So excited to try this!!! Might test it with Nutella too… Although I’ll have to wait to try both of them until my husband is home so I can’t eat all of the fudgy deliciousness by myself… 😉 any idea how many servings are in one batch?
Amy says
Oh my, there is nothing like a vacation to bring out the best flavors to make the day.
Gi says
is pizza fudge too daring? 😀
Aenia says
Has anyone tried it with PB2? I am wondering if the consistency would be the same.
Whit Rae Meier says
I would love to know too!!!
april says
Yum yum. I am going to try these tonight. In the next hour. Probably with either trivia or honey since I don’t have Stevia or maple syrup.
april says
I ended up using two packets of trivia. I liked it. Then I added cocopowder because I could. And I loved it. Yum. Chocolate peaunut butter; tried and true. Peppermint fudge would be good. Or is it t early for my mint cravings?
Lauren says
These look amazing! All I need is a banana and these will definitely be made this week. The fudge looks so decadent.
Kit-Kat says
This looks so good!!! 😀
I work at “The Fudgery”, and we don’t make any vegan fudges or candies for that matter, so I can never sample anything we make. :/ I’d say my dream flavor would be anything chocolatey (duh, haha!) and of course there’s cookies n’ creme fudge and dreamsicle fudge (both I used to sample at Tillamook’s factory in Oregon when I was little, before I became a vegan). I bet you could make a really good version of those flavors!!! 😉
Regal Ecig Review says
Hi there, You’ve done a great job. I will certainly digg it and

KarenM says
I think cappuccino toffee fudge would be dreamy!!
Kate @ Almond Butter Binge says
So intrigued by the banana in this recipe! What a great combination. Thanks for sharing!
