Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge
Rich, creamy fudge that happens to be completely plant-based — this one is genuinely hard to believe until you taste it. Coconut cream and vegan butter stand in for the dairy you'd find in a classic recipe, giving the fudge that same melt-in-your-mouth texture without any compromise. Maple syrup adds a subtle depth of sweetness that goes beautifully with the creamy peanut butter, and a pinch of fine salt keeps it from tipping into cloying territory. The whole thing comes together in a single saucepan before getting pressed into a pan and chilled — no candy thermometer, no fuss. A finishing sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top is optional but honestly non-negotiable if you love that sweet-salty contrast. The batch cuts into 16 squares, so it's perfect for gifting, holiday trays, or just keeping a stash in the fridge for whenever the craving hits.
