Have a sweet tooth but still want to be able to eat healthy or maintain a vegan lifestyle? No problem, there are several recipes you can try to satisfy your sweet tooth and this one is probably the best. These vegan peanut butter fudge squares are sure to delight your sugary cravings and can be the best party favor for other vegans and non-vegans alike.
This recipe also calls for healthy raisins and sunflower seeds for an interesting bite that makes them unique from other fudge squares, on top of having half of the fat content compared to other recipes.
This recipe will make about eight to ten servings. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3/4 cups of peanut butter, chunky
- 1/3 cups of maple syrup
- 3 1/2 ounces of vegan dark chocolate that is cut into small pieces (non-baking chocolate)
- 1/3 cups of roasted sunflower seeds, salted
- 1/4 cups of fresh raisins
And here’s how to make these delectable fudge squares for yourself:
- You will need at least a 8-inch baking sheet. Lightly coat the baking sheet with vegan margarine and then set aside.
- Next you will need a large mixing bowl to start mixing together the peanut butter and maple syrup. Mix until it is well combined and there are no large pools of syrup. Put the mixing bowl aside for now.
- Use a double boiler or two pans to melt the dark chocolate on medium to high heat on the stove. Once the chocolate has fully melted, take it over to the mixture and pour the chocolate into the mixing bowl and start stirring until everything is mixed together. Start folding in the raisins and sunflower seeds.
- Take the entire mixture over to the pan to be poured in at a consistent level and smooth over top. Score the fudge into squares. Now cover the baking sheet with foil and let it chill in fridge for about two hours.
