I am having some serious chocolate cravings, anyone else get those? I whipped up a batch of these Vegan Chocolate Fudge bars and they were the perfect fix. These will be staying in my freezer as a quick treat for when another chocolate craving hits!
With six simple ingredients, these fudge bars are so easy to make and have a subtle coconut flavor, packed with a rich chocolate taste. These bars are vegan, refined sugar-free and can be made paleo if you eliminate the vanilla extract.

Ingredients
The Fudge
- 3/4 cup coconut oil, melted

Line an 8”x8” pan with parchment paper or foil.

Note: I recommend keeping these in the refrigerator or freezer while storing (I like to keep mine in the freezer for an extra chilled sweet).
