Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
If using nuts, fold them into the fudge mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours until completely firm.
Once set, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment overhang and slice into squares.

Notes

Use regular peanut butter for firmer fudge.

For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or pecans.

Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.

Add crushed peppermint or sprinkles on top for a festive touch.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
