Chocolate peppermint fudge ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need: chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars, nut butter or coconut butter, and pure peppermint extract.
The recipe can be dairy free, vegan, gluten free, paleo, sugar free, and keto friendly, with no corn syrup, no sweetened condensed milk, and no heavy cream required.

Just like with my Vegan Peppermint Cookies, make sure to use pure peppermint extract, not mint extract or imitation peppermint.

I like almond butter, cashew butter, or macadamia nut butter because these have a more neutral flavor than peanut butter. For tree nut free chocolate peppermint fudge bars, use softened coconut butter or coconut oil.

For a vegan holiday dessert, look for dairy free chocolate chips or bars. You can use semi sweet or dark chocolate, depending on your personal preference.
