What You’ll Need
Here’s what you need to create this simple and satisfying fudge:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or any chips you prefer)
- ½ cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
How to Make 3-Ingredient Peppermint Fudge
Follow these easy steps to create your own batch of healthy peppermint fudge:
- Melt the chocolate chips and almond butter together until smooth. You can do this in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or on the stovetop using a double boiler.
- Add in the peppermint extract and stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an 8” x 4” loaf pan lined with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the fudge later.
- Freeze for about an hour, or until the fudge is firm.
- Once frozen, slice the fudge into 18 square pieces.
- Store in the refrigerator prior to serving. Enjoy this refreshing and healthy treat! 💚
Tips and Variations
- Chocolate Choice: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or even white chocolate would work well.
- Nut Butter Alternatives: If you’re not a fan of almond butter, try peanut butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Add-Ins: For extra flavor and texture, consider adding chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
- Vegan Option: Ensure your chocolate chips are vegan to make this a completely vegan dessert.
