Method
 

Instructions
  1. Line an 8×8 baking dish (for thinner fudge) or a 9×5 loaf pan (for thicker fudge) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to lift the fudge out when set; press the parchment to fit the pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup coconut oil. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 3/4 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup pure maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  5. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons peanut butter and 1 tablespoon coconut oil together until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 15–20 second intervals, stirring between intervals.
  6. Drizzle the melted peanut butter mixture over the top of the fudge in a back-and-forth motion. Use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to drag through the drizzle in the opposite direction to create swirls.
  7. Refrigerate the pan for about 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
  8. Lift the set fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 20 small squares.
  9. Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

3 cups coconut flakes
1 medium banana
2 ounces sprinkles
Place the shredded coconut in a high speed blender and blitz until it reaches a butter consistency. If you are having difficulty getting it to blend try adding a small dash of coconut milk or melted coconut oil to get it moving.
Add the banana and blitz again until combined.
Spoon the mixture into a small dish lined with parchment paper. Top with sprinkles if desired and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until the fudge has hardened.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
