Description
There's a lot more to nutrition than calories. But weight gain & loss is pretty much only based on calories. The best way to clean bulk is to increase your consumption of healthy fats, as opposed to eating tons of empty starches and sugars to dirty bulk.

This snack is perfect for those who need to gain weight, as each small piece of fudge contains 84 calories, is packed with healthy fats, and is even low in carbs, making it keto.

This easy bittersweet fudge is made with just 3 simple ingredients - melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and natural peanut butter. I love this bittersweet treat, but you can add some sweetener to taste if you like it a bit sweeter than I do. For a similar (but sweetened) fudge recipe, check out my 3 Ingredient Sugar Free Fudge.

  1. In a medium bowl, microwave coconut oil for about a minute, until fully melted. Stir in cocoa powder and peanut butter. Add a sweetener to taste if desired.
    1. Transfer to a parchment lined container (mine, are 6.2 x 4.5 "). Optionally top with flaky salt.
    1. Refrigerate for a few hours to harden fully before slicing.
    Notes
    1. I prefer to keep my fudge totally unsweetened for the richest peanut butter and chocolate flavor, but you can sweeten it to taste with anything you desire. Below are some recommendations:
