Creamy Cashew Butter Fudge

This delicious chocolate cashew butter fudge has a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Give it a try if you’re looking for simple homemade treat ideas, like this chocolate covered macadamia nuts recipe, which is another yummy option.

Ingredients and Substitutions

I prefer to use store-bought cashew butter when making this fudge, but you can use homemade if you prefer. I recommend using an unsalted variety, or you can omit the added salt in this recipe if the cashew butter you’re using does contain salt.

I like to use dark chocolate with around 70-85% cacao solids when making this recipe, but you can use any type of chocolate you like.

I like to include a little maple syrup to boost the sweetness of this fudge to the perfect level. You can omit the maple syrup if you prefer, in which case the fudge will be subtly sweet.

How to Make Cashew Butter Fudge

Start by adding the chopped dark chocolate to a pan on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until melted, then immediately remove the pan from the heat.

Add the cashew butter and salt to the pan, then mix until combined. Next you’ll add the optional maple syrup, then mix until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper, then spread in an even layer.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before removing from the pan and slicing.
