Instructions

Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and coconut oil together.
Remove from heat and stir in cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and any optional flavorings like espresso powder or cinnamon.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
Lift out the fudge using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter and substitute walnuts with pumpkin seeds.

Add espresso powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.

Top with sea salt before freezing for a savory-sweet contrast.

Mix in dried cranberries or chopped dates for a fruity twist.

Vegan chocolate chips can be added for extra indulgence.
