🍫🥜Easy 4-Ingredient Quick-Set Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge (Refined Sugar-Free!)
If there’s one thing I love during the holidays, it’s a recipe that feels impressive but requires almost no effort, especially when the season is already full of to-dos, gatherings, and last-minute baking. This quick-set peanut butter chocolate fudge has become one of my go-to treats this time of year. It’s rich, creamy, perfectly sweet, and comes together in minutes…with just four simple ingredients.
Even better? It’s naturally sweetened, fully refined-sugar-free, and sets in the freezer in only 15 minutes. No stovetop. No thermometer. No complicated steps. Just pure, chocolate-peanut-butter holiday magic. Whether you’re making it for a cookie box, a dessert board, or just to keep a stash in the fridge for yourself, this one checks all the boxes.
