Ingredients
1 cup creamy almond butter
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup cacao powder
3/4 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup chopped dairy-free chocolate or chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Directions
- Line a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper cut to hang over all four sides for easy removal.
- Add the almond butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup to a large bowl and mix well with a wooden or large metal spoon. Add the cacao powder and mix until combined. Fold in the cashews and chopped chocolate with a rubber spatula, making sure that all the cashews and chocolate pieces are fully coated in the fudge.
- Carefully pour the fudge into the baking dish, spreading it evenly to all four corners, using an offset or rubber spatula. Sprinkle flaky salt over the top. Freeze until hardened but not fully frozen, 1 to 2 hours.
- Remove the fudge from the baking dish by lifting the overhang of the parchment paper. Cut into twelve squares.
Notes
- Storage: Freeze in a sealed container with parchment between the fudge layers for up to 1 month. Defrost on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.

Would it be fine to use creamy peanut butter in these instead of the almond butter? Is there a reason to use almond vs. peanut butter in your recipes?
Thank you!
Yes you can definitely use peanut butter! I bet that would be yummy.
So easy to make and so yummy to eat! It’s a little on the rich side, so 1 piece perfectly satisfies my sweet tooth after dinner. Love, love, love this recipe! Thank you!
This is SO good! I made it just as is and can’t wait to have these treats for my week.
These were such a hit and SO easy! I subbed peanut butter and added extra chocolate chips, and everyone was happy 🙂
Can you substitute the raw cashews for something else?
sooooo good. and one piece is huge 🙂
