High Protein Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter (crunchy variety for extra texture)
• 130 g Dark Chocolate (70 % cocoa or higher, broken into small pieces)
• 1 tsp Neutral Oil (for greasing the mold; any light oil works (e.g., canola, vegetable))

Instructions

1. Gather Ingredients and Bowl

   Take a clean microwave‑safe bowl and have the peanut butter, dark chocolate, and oil ready.

   Time: PT2M

2. Add Peanut Butter

   Spoon 6 tbsp of natural crunchy peanut butter into the bowl.

   Time: PT1M

3. Add Dark Chocolate

   Add 130 g of broken dark chocolate pieces to the bowl with the peanut butter.

   Time: PT1M

4. Melt the Mixture

   Microwave on high in 30‑second intervals, stirring well after each burst, until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy. Do not rush; this prevents the chocolate from seizing or burning.

   Time: PT4M

5. Cool Slightly

   Set the bowl aside for about 2 minutes to let the mixture cool just enough that it’s still pourable but not scorching hot.

   Time: PT2M

6. Prepare the Mold

   Grease a tin or glass container with a thin layer of oil. If you like, line it with parchment paper for an easier release.

   Time: PT3M

7. Transfer and Set

   Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared container, tap the container gently on the counter to release air bubbles, then smooth the top with the spatula.

   Time: PT2M

8. Refrigerate to Set

   Cover the container with its lid and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until firm.

   Time: PT0M

   Temperature: 4°C

9. Serve

   Remove the set fudge from the fridge, demold, and cut into 4 equal squares (≈8 g protein each). Enjoy!

   Time: PT1M
