Easy Chocolate Fudge Bar Ingredients
So what are the two ingredients?
Are you ready??
Here’s what you need to make the bar: chocolate chips and your favorite nut butter.
I personally prefer using peanut butter in my recipes. (Hello, Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars!) But just about any nut or seed butter will work.
If you’re looking for a more neutral flavor than peanut butter, almond butter, coconut butter, or nut-free sunflower butter are great choices.
The bars are already naturally egg-free and gluten-free. And you can easily go vegan by choosing dairy-free chocolate chips.
Or use sugar-free chocolate chips and macadamia nut butter for a low-carb, keto option.

How to Make Chocolate Fudge Bars
- Start by measuring your ingredients. Choose your chocolate chips and nut butter of your choice.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper. Or, if you want a richer chocolate fudge, use a smaller pan. Once lined, set this pan aside.
- Melt the chocolate chips carefully. I find the easiest way is to use a microwave and heat for 20 seconds, stirring, then heating in 10 second intervals, stirring each time, until it reaches a melted chocolate sauce consistency. If you prefer, you can melt the chocolate chips using the double boiler method.
- Stir in nut butter until mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour into prepared pan and use a spatula or tablespoon to spread recipe evenly into pan.
- To harden the chocolate quickly, refrigerate or freeze the pan for a few minutes until the fudge is firm and ready to slice. Alternatively, you can leave it on the counter in a cool room overnight to harden.
- Cut into squares or bars and enjoy whenever you want a chocolatey dessert.
- Store leftovers, covered, at room temperature, in the refrigerator or freezer. These easy chocolate fudge bars will keep for at least a month when refrigerated or frozen.
