This Easy Sugar-free Peppermint Fudge Recipe is the perfect healthy treat. It's low carb, dairy free, sugar free and paleo with AIP option.

1 cup dark chocolate (chopped--chocolate chips work well too)
1/2 cup coconut cream concentrate (or coconut butter--see Recipe Notes)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/16 teaspoon salt
2 1/12 teaspoons liquid peppermint stevia (50 drops - about 2 full droppers; or to taste. See Recipe Notes for alternatives)
crushed sugar-free peppermint candies or candy canes (optional, for garnish. See Recipe Notes for options.)

In a double boiler, melt chocolate and coconut cream concentrate while stirring occasionally with a spatula.
Meanwhile, prepare your mold by lining the bottom and sides with plastic wrap. Allow some wrap to hang over the edges to aid during the un-molding process.
When the chocolate and coconut cream concentrate has melted completely smooth, remove from the heat. Add the vanilla extract, salt and liquid stevia and stir to combine well. Pour into mold(s).
Sprinkle optional crushed peppermint candies on top of the fudge, if using. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Remove the mold(s) from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature for about five minutes before cutting and serving.

Candy Topping Options: These mint candies are sugar-free and naturally colored. If you'd prefer an all natural option with sugar you could use these candies or these candies that are all natural and sugar free but white. You could try coloring them or leave them white for a different look but the same taste. Otherwise, if that first option is out of stock and you aren't picky about your sweeteners, you could use these candies, but they do use sucralose which I don't recommend.
