Peanut Butter? Good. Chocolate? Good. Fudge? Good. As Joey would say on Friends, “What’s not to like?”
The best of both worlds.
Do you remember my No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie?
It’s one of the most-popular recipes on my blog, and for good reason: chocolate and peanut butter are meant for each other. Not that it’s a monogamous relationship… peanut butter also goes out with the likes of jelly and banana, which leaves chocolate open to explore his options with mint, coconut, and strawberries. But there’ll never be a marriage quite like chocolate peanut butter.
The following recipe is sugar-free and healthy, but I promise this healthy chocolate peanut butter fudge tastes just as rich and decadent as traditional fudge. In fact, it might taste even better. Without ingredients like sugar and heavy cream to weigh it down, the true goodness of the chocolate and peanut butter really shine.
Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
(Or chocolate peanut butter frosting!)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp coconut butter or homemade coconut butter
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
- 80g very-ripe banana (1/2 a medium banana)
- 1/16 tsp salt (more if using unsalted pb)
- optional: feel free to add a little sweetener if your bananas aren’t ripe enough
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender (I use the Magic Bullet). Scoop into a container or even a little pie pan, and put in the fridge or freezer so it will firm up. (Alternatively, you can eat it soft, like frosting!)
See banana fudge post for Chocolate Fudge Nutrition Facts.
The calories and sugar for this recipe will be the same as the one linked above. However, this recipe will have a bit more protein (around 4g per serving). (You could also try using chocolate protein powder in place of the cocoa, if you want higher-protein fudge, but I haven’t done this.)

I think chocolate and peanut butter are one of the best food combinations! They go together like ketchup and mustard:)
Those look great!!
Chocolate and peanut butter is like a match made in heaven!
The number of comments probably says it all – these really look heavenly. The good thing is that with a fork and and some power stirring I can do this even without a blender and I think I will do it very soon. Chocolate, coconut, banana, peanut butter… I just can’t say no to this 🙂 .
I ran home to make these last night! I pressed the mixture into two cupcake foils to chill in the fridge. They were so simple and rich that the little batch satisfied me and my roomates sweet tooths.
I’m so excited you made it! 🙂
There is nothing better than chocolate and peanut butter. These would be devoured by just about everyone I know! I love it 🙂
I LOVE chocolate and peanut butter! Together, separate, doesn’t matter; any which way is fine by me. But actually, number one on my “must make” list right now is your chickpea poppers! My mom and brother brought home a bag of white cheddar popcorn last night… I’m currently brainstorming how to recreate that flavor. But I also want to try the kettle corn version! (sweet tooth at heart, lol)
Hahaha I LOVE that episode of Friends!!! Jam? Good… Custard? Good… Beef? Goooooood..
Chocolate and peanut butter were made for each other! I am definitely making this ASAP – I have all the ingredients, so I may make it this afternoon.
I think it’s my favorite episode. That and the one where Phoebe seduces Chandler :).
O can you please give me the stevia sweetened recipe?

Natural style PB on SoDelicious Chocolate Velvet soy ice cream…enough said.
Hey Katie,love your recipes!
Just one question: Do you know anything that substitutes bananas in this recipe? Because I’m allergic to them, so that keeps me from trying man recipes:(
Yes, definitely! Try my chocolate-raspberry fudge (and you can use other berries in place of the raspberries). Here: https://lett-trim.today/2011/03/07/you-gotta-try-this/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
this reciepe looks fantastic. is there anyway to substitue the coconut butter for coconut oil? or would the reciepe not work with it?
I know this is coming late, but for anyone in the future who reads these comments, I just want to share that I have had great success with these fudge recipes subbing coconut flour & coconut oil for the coconut butter, in proportions of both 50% each & 75% flour, 25% oil. I just mix them directly into the recipes, altho’ I wouldn’t be surprised if one could actually make coconut butter with an inferior blender (& patience!) by simply adding some of the oil to the CcoCconut in the blender. Haven’t tried it yet, though – haven’t felt the need. Hope this is of some help to somebody. 🙂
