    💡 Tips for Making Keto Fudge

    • Use natural peanut butter for the best sugar-free version.
    • Stir constantly while melting to avoid burning the sweeteners.
    • Let the fudge chill overnight for the best texture.
    • A silicone loaf pan works great for easy removal.
    • Slice with a warm knife for clean, smooth cuts.

    🔄 Substitutions and Additions

    • Chocolate swirl: Add a drizzle of melted sugar-free chocolate over the tops of the squares before chilling.
    • Crunchy twist: Stir in chopped peanuts for extra texture.

    • Spice it up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a unique kick.
    • Vanilla bean: Swap regular extract for vanilla bean paste for a richer flavor.

    Why Isn’t My Fudge Setting?

    If this happens, make sure the mixture is fully combined and chilled for at least 4 hours. It should set up perfectly.

    Can I Use Almond Butter Instead?

    You can but the texture and taste will change slightly.

    How Do I Avoid Grainy Fudge?

    If the mixture seems grainy, just make sure the sweeteners dissolve completely before adding peanut butter.

    Is This Fudge Gluten-Free?

    Yes! It’s completely gluten-free.
