Low Carb Chocolate Walnut Peanut Butter Fudge. One of the things a diabetic misses (and there are lots of things) is a good creamy fudge. Well, you need wait no longer. This is as good as it gets and you can eat several pieces without any guilt what-so-ever.
About 20-55 years ago I realized fudge was far better made with heavy cream rather than milk and up until the diabetes thing it was the best fudge ever and now this is. I really can’t tell any difference.
The first time I tried making this I used too much heavy cream (gasp) and we could only eat it with a spoon (another gasp) so I reduced the cream and voila a to-die-for Low Carb Chocolate Walnut Peanut Butter Fudge and how cool is this and…you don’t have to beat it forever.

Deborah, what peanut butter do you use? Wondering if you use a “stir in the oil” type or something like Jif.
Hey Janet,
I am probably not going to be much help here. I shop my local New Seasons Market here in Portland and they have a whole raw peanuts grinding machine to grind your own and that is what I do.
My best advice is to buy sugar free peanut butter and it can sometimes be tricky to find. Once Again Organics are good and I do use their tahini. Here is a link to all their products and they do have an organic peanut butter https://www.onceagainnutbutter.com/consumer-product-list and in stores you can buy it by the jar.
There is another company Wild Friend https://wildfriendsfoods.com/ and they are actually a local PDX company that hit it big time on Shark Tank.
I don’t know where you are but Wild Friends may be in your local grocery.
I would never use Jif
Deborah
Thanks Deborah, that was exactly the answer I was looking for! Have a great day!

Hello , could you use Swerve?
Hi Ann,
I do not use any erythritol and for that matter especially Swerve as it contains Oligosaccharides I would ask you to read this as it explains exactly how I feel. http://low-carb-scams.mouthy.org/moores-law-as-applied-to-most-alternative-sweeteners/ I mostly use Allulose-zero carbs and an added bonus-it’s paleo.
