Ingredients
  

1 cup natural almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or agave nectar)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the natural almond butter and pure maple syrup. Stir until well blended and smooth.

      Incorporate Cocoa: Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder to avoid lumps. Mix thoroughly until the chocolate is fully incorporated.

        Create Creaminess: Gradually add in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture becomes creamy and cohesive.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Pour into the Pan: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

              Chill to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.

                Slice and Serve: Once the fudge has set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Slice it into squares. If desired, sprinkle with optional toppings like chopped nuts or a light sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.

                  Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
