3-Layer Peanut Butter Fudge Bars – Gluten-Free, Vegan

Stop what you’re doing and whip up these 3-layer PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE BARS. I whipped these up back in February for a decadent Valentines treat, and can’t believe I’m just sharing because they turned out seriously AMAZING. Each bite was the perfect mix of textures & flavors. These healthy bars are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan.

I have SUCH a sweet tooth, so I am all for creating healthier alternatives to satisfy the cravings. These are the most decadent gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free 3-layer bars with all of my favorite ingredients including Paleo baking flour, creamy peanut butter, and Date Nectar.

Date Nectar is one of my favorite all natural sweeteners to use, with clean ingredients and a delicious way to sweeten your treats naturally. It is a 1:1 alternative to honey/maple syrup with significantly less sugar and made with 100% organic dates.

I was inspired to whip these up with the Valentines treats going around, so I was desperate to create an equally delicious healthy alternative. These have the perfect balance of Chocolate & Peanut Butter on a Paleo shortbread crust. Let’s just say these did not last long in our home!

You only need SIX ingredients to whip these healthy Peanut Butter Fudge Bars up:

Tools You Need:

If you want to try these out you will need an 8×8 square baking pan. The baking part for the shortbread crust only take about 15 minutes, but you will need additional time to harden the remaining two layers in the freezer (about 15 min each round).
