Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge Bars

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge Bars are a little spin off of my Pumpkin Fudge Bars because they were such a hit πŸ‘πŸΌ and there’s no better combo than peanut butter + chocolate πŸ˜‰

I know, I know… layered treats can seem daunting and difficult but I promise these are SO simple to make and the perfect healthy alternative to a candy bar 🍫 

I loved loved loved candy growing up (still do!) so my favorite recipes to make are the ones that rival my childhood go-to sweet treats but are made with more wholesome ingredients. These fudge bars remind of a mix between snickers and twix bars… what more could you need!

If you aren’t a fan of the taste of coconut oil, try refined coconut oil. It’s pretty much flavorless but will give you the exact same texture. If cococnut oil is a complete no for you, I would try butter or vegan butter.

The most amazing part about these? They are best stored in the freezer so you can make a batch and they will last as long as you want them to! So whenever a candy bar craving hits, we gotchu 😎

Ingredients

For the cookie crust

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

For the fudge layer

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (the only ingredients should be peanuts or peanuts and salt)
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (if peanut butter is not salted)
  • chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix all of the crust ingredients. Using a spoon, press mixture into loaf pan. If the mixture is sticking to your spoon, just dip the spoon in a tiny bit of coconut oil.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges start to slightly brown. Let crust cool completely.
  • In another bowl, add all of your fudge ingredients. Microwave for 15-30 seconds and then stir until fully combined. You can also do this step on the stovetop.
  • Pour fudge mixture over crust layer. Top with chocolate chips and then set in the freezer for at least two hours.
  • Lift parchment paper on each side to remove the bars from the loaf pan. Slice into 8 bars (or 16 mini bars) and top with sea salt.
