Helllooooooo fudge 🙂 I made this recipe last week for the first time, and after a few tweaks I happily present to you…chocolate peanut butter protein fudge!  You’ll never believe what’s in this fudge (aside from the chocolate and peanut butter).  And at only 50 calories a piece with 3 grams of protein, you don’t have to feel bad about indulging your sweet tooth.

Oh, and it only takes about 10 minutes total to make this melt-in-your-mouth protein fudge.  Give it a try, you won’t be sorry 🙂

Isn’t it a beautiful thing? Chocolate and peanut butter and meltiness and swirliness 🙂  I’ve gotta tell you, this fudge was inspired by one of my not-so-guilty pleasures that I make myself when I’ve got a craving for something sweet but don’t want to put a lot of effort into making something.  I just melt 1/2 tbsp peanut butter with about 8 dark chocolate chips in the microwave, then I stir in about 1/4 cup Greek yogurt.  It made this delicious “sludge” that inspired my fudge recipe you see here.  I think the key to the amazing velvety texture is mixing the cold Greek yogurt into the hot peanut butter/chocolate.  So that’s what I did here too…

Since I’m not a big fan of complicated clean up, I lined my baking dish with Saran wrap.  It also makes it really easy to get the fudge pieces out after you cut it!  All you have to do is lift the plastic and there you have your fudge piece, no mess or fuss.  If you want thicker fudge, use a smaller dish or double the recipe.  I thought the pieces I made here were the perfect size…not too much to handle, but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.
