Ingredients
  

1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, depending on your texture preference)

1 cup maple syrup or agave syrup for sweetness

1 cup coconut oil, melted until liquid

1 cup cacao powder (alternatively, you can use unsweetened cocoa powder)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor

¼ teaspoon sea salt to enhance flavors

½ cup vegan chocolate chips (optional, for added richness and texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Take an 8x8 inch (or similarly sized) baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Allow some overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal of the fudge later.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the melted coconut oil and peanut butter. Whisk them together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined; this should take about 1-2 minutes for a creamy consistency.

      Add Sweetener & Flavorings: Pour in the maple syrup (or agave), vanilla extract, and sprinkle in the sea salt. Stir this mixture well, ensuring that all the ingredients are seamlessly blended into a creamy texture.

        Add Cocoa Powder: Gradually sift in the cacao powder, mixing continuously after each addition. Keep stirring until the mixture achieves a smooth and glossy finish with no lumps visible.

          Incorporate Chocolate Chips: If you decide to include them, gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips. This step will give the fudge an extra layer of chocolaty flavor and delightful texture.

            Pour and Spread: Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure to reach the corners. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

              Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to chill for approximately 2-3 hours, or until it has set firmly.

                Slice and Serve: Once fully set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut it into small squares or rectangles for serving. Any leftover fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.
