CHOCOLATE. PEANUT BUTTER. SEA SALT PRETZELS.

Someone please hold me as I pass out, because this is my kind of food.

The last few days have been nothing short of glorious. I finished my last final on Friday and am currently back at my parent’s house doing all my favorite things (read: photography, cooking, Netflix binge-watching, petting Kyle’s new puppy). Glorious, I tell ya. I know I’ve been MIA for the last week, but prepare to have recipes start to rain down on you. My goal for the next few months is to get 3 recipes up each week, along with more personal posts so I can add some more of myself into my little site.

Andddd here’s the first of the plethora of recipes coming! Meet my newest love, Peanut Butter Pretzel Fudge.

4-Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Fudge

This recipe packs all my favorite things into a delectable bite-sized treat. With a fudgy chocolate base, thick peanut butter layer, and pretzels sprinkled with sea salt to lend the perfect crunch, this fudge has it all. Seriously, meander (and by that I mean RUN) to your kitchen and make this ASAP.

This recipe comes from Bake for the Border. One look at her mouthwatering photos, and I knew I had to try out the recipe for myself!

I actually can’t stop eating this right now.

So good. So so so good.

I was skeptical at first, but I have been turned into a healthy fudge believer. Like, do those words even belong together? It’s seems like some sort of food miracle. Hallelujah! 

I’ve actually never worked with coconut oil before. The last time I was at my parent’s house, I noticed an unopened jar hiding in the back of the cupboard. It was just taking up space, so I stole it my mom let me take it back to school with me. SCORE. I opened it up yesterday and took a small taste. I was totally thinking it would be, well, coconut-y tasting, but it’s actually super mild and neutral tasting. And guess what? It helps make the most amazing (healthier) fudge ever!

This is one of those recipes where you keep finding yourself taking leeeetle “taste tests” throughout the cooking process. I think I ate a solid 1/3 of the batter before it even made it into the pan to solidify and I walked around the house for 30 minutes before realizing that I had brown fudge smeared all over my forehead. And not like a little dab, either. Full blown poop-face was happening. But it’s okay, don’t stress. It’s a delicious sacrifice that I am willing to make.

This is a one-bowl recipe that I slightly adapted from The Nourishing Gourmet to include honey as the sweetener. The one catch is that it needs to be stored in the fridge or else you’ll be dealing with a (tasty) healthy chocolate mousse instead of fudge. 

Enjoy!
