Instructions

Prepare Pan: Line an 8″ x 4″ baking pan with foil and set aside to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
Melt Chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate carefully, stirring frequently to avoid burning and to get a smooth texture.
Mix Ingredients: Remove the melted chocolate from heat and quickly stir in the almond butter, collagen (if using), and peppermint flavoring until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer to let the fudge set firmly.
Cut and Serve: Once fully set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the foil, then cut into bite-sized pieces for serving.
Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to keep it fresh and maintain its texture.

Notes

Use unsweetened almond butter that is drippy for easier mixing.
Collagen is optional and can be omitted for a vegan-friendly fudge.
Adjust peppermint flavor to taste; start with 1 1/2 teaspoons and add more if desired.
Setting time may vary—freezer will set the fudge faster than the fridge.
Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor result.
