Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge

Peanut butter and chocolate are one of the best pairings of all time, like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.  I developed this recipe as a riff on my Pumpkin Fudge, complete with the little layer of chocolate on top.  It is the perfect little dessert--sweet but not too sweet--and packed with good-for-you ingredients. 

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut butter

3/4 cup organic creamy peanut butter

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

4 tbsp whole milk

Warm coconut butter in saucepan on low heat until melted.  Then transfer to a bowl and combine with other ingredients, except the chocolate and milk.  Transfer to a shallow 8x8 dish and spread evenly.  In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate and milk in a saucepan on low.  Layer melted chocolate across top of fudge.  Let sit in fridge for 2-3 hours. Cut into one-inch squares and store in fridge until ready to eat.  Enjoy!
