Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract adjust to taste
- Crushed peppermint candies for topping, optional
Instructions
- Add the melted coconut oil, almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and peppermint extract to a large bowl. Mix well until a smooth and creamy batter is formed. Taste the mixture and adjust the level of peppermint extract to your preference. Add more if you want a stronger peppermint flavor.
- Line a small 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on top of the fudge. If the candy pieces are too large they may sink so make sure to crush them small.
- Place it in the fridge and let the fudge set for at least 2-3 hours or until it's firm.
- Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into small squares. Serve immediately and enjoy!
