Chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in heaven. They are my favorite dessert combo to satisfy my sweet tooth.

So when a reader said that she put cocoa powder in my 2 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge, I had to try it for myself. I added equal parts cacao powder (less processed than cocoa powder) to peanut butter. I also tried this easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge recipe with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Both turned out great, so you could make this delicious treat either way. For a fudge recipe that tastes like classic fudge try my Chocolate Fudge recipe. It's perfect for the holiday season.

The whole family will love this delicious recipe.

For some healthy dessert recipes, try my Strawberry Fruit Dip Recipe or my Dark Chocolate Hummus. They both make a great snack with graham crackers or fruit.

Another great recipe with chocolate and peanut butter is my Vegan Peanut Butter Bars. You may also like my Vegan 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies and my Vegan Peanut Butter Covered Apples.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

It is sweet and rich with a creamy texture. Peanut butter lovers will love it.
It's made with only 4 simple ingredients and you don't need a candy thermometer like traditional fudge.
It comes together in minutes. It's waiting for it to set that's the hard part!

🧾 Ingredients

Cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder) or chocolate chips: I tried this recipe with both cacao powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Both work well. If you use chocolate chips the fudge comes out a little sweeter. Another cacao powder recipe is my Coconut Oil Chocolate Bark.
Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a sweet rich flavor. You could also use sweetened condensed oat milk.
Creamy peanut butter: I used all-natural smooth peanut butter. You could also use shelf-stable peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter. If you want some crunch, use crunchy peanut butter.
Salt: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.
