Preparation

Step 1

Coat 8x8" pan with the melted coconut oil.

TO MAKE THE FUDGE:
Put chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and microwave 1½-2 minutes in 30-second intervals until just melted. {Stir after 1 minute to check since the chocolate will hold its shape even when melted}

In a separate microwaveable bowl, combine peanut butter, cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla and salt. Microwave about 1 minute to soften, and then stir to thoroughly blend. Stir peanut butter mixture into the melted chocolate and stir well. {If the mix becomes too stiff, microwave another 30-40 seconds}

Spread fudge into the prepared pan and set aside to cool. If desired, spread the fudge with a layer of peanut butter and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts.
