Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Fudge with Premier Protein

This post is sponsored by PREMIER PROTEIN®.

Instead of a super sweet calorie-laden traditional fudge, make this Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Fudge with PREMIER PROTEIN®.  It is a delicious alternative for your post-bariatric surgery lifestyle. We skip the condensed milk, most of the added sugars, and marshmallow creme. You won’t even need a candy thermometer!

This fudge is a perfect homemade gift, delicious addition to your holiday celebrations, or a fantastic dessert to share at your next support group meeting! Everyone will love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter with this creamy melt-in-your-mouth fudge.

This is such a great recipe to experiment with! You can try different nut butters, stir in unsweetened shredded coconut, add your favorite chopped nuts for a bit of crunch, or sprinkle a little sea salt on top to enhance the chocolate flavor!
