Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar swerve sweetener
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
- Heat a medium size sauce pan over medium heat melt butter and add brown sugar, stir continuously until sugar dissolves and it begins to simmer and a thick brown caramel begins to form. This usually takes 6-8 minutes for me. (see video below)
- When the sauce is thickened and looks like caramel remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract (if using) until melted.
- Spoon out 1/2 cup of the peanut butter fudge mixture and set aside.
- Stir in the cocoa powder in the remaining fudge mixture.
- Line a loaf pan with wax paper and carefully pour the chocolate fudge into the pan, then top with the peanut butter fudge and swirl.
- Freeze 30 minutes or until completely set. Peel the wax paper away from the fudge and slice. I slice the loaf into three long skinny rows, then slice the long rows into 7 chunk size pieces.
- Top with sea salt as desired.
