Five Minute & Five Ingredient Low-FODMAP Peanut Butter Fudge with Chocolate a.k.a. Buckeye Fudge; Gluten-free

Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients, using FODMAP data at time of posting

Yield: 64 (1-inch pieces)

Serving size: 2-4 pieces

Prep time 5 min

Cook time: 5 min

Ingredients

• 1 cup (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
  • One tablespoon is one low-FODMAP serving
  • I have not tried this recipe with vegan spread, so I can’t comment on the results.  Let me know if you try it!
• 1 cup smooth salted all-natural peanut butter
  • if you select unsalted, then add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to recipe
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups confectioners sugar
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (about 3-5 ounces)
  • I used 1/2 cup as I like a dominant peanut flavor (gives me a bit of an artisan top rather than thick chocolate layer)
  • For a thicker chocolate top, adjust the chocolate amount to the higher measurement

Directions

• Grease 8 by 8 inch pan with butter or vegetable shortening and line with parchment paper
• Combine the butter and peanut butter in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap
• Microwave for 2 minutes on high
• Stir and microwave on high again for about 2 minutes (caution- it will be very hot)
• Remove from microwave and add the vanilla and powdered sugar
• Stir to combine with a wooden spoon or spatula
  • The mixture will become hard to stir and lose its sheen
  • It will be almost a paste
• At this point, spread the fudge into prepared pan
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the fudge and allow to melt slightly
• Take a knife and gently spread chocolate over the fudge
  • It is OK if they mix a bit
  • If you are fancy, you can also try to use a knife to create swirls with the chocolate
• Refrigerate until cool, about 2 hours
• Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week
