    Almond Butter Fudge Cups decorated for Halloween

    Easy Halloween Freezer Fudge is no-bake and ready in 15 minutes, leaving plenty of time for our decorating ideas.

    No-Bake Chocolate Freezer Fudge decorated for Halloween.

    It's no secret to Dinner-Mom readers that a sweet ending is considered an essential part of a delicious dinner...at least at my house, especially at holidays. 

    We try to keep it healthy around here, except on special occasions, like Halloween. That's when we make things like Candy Corn Sugar Cookies, and Harry Potter Golden Snitch Truffles.

    I've never shied away from baking for events because my girls never fail to pop into the kitchen and share in the fun. And, making memories is what it's all about!

    But, I'm particularly fond this simple recipe that doesn't even require you to heat up the stovetop. Most of the time is spent coming up with ideas to decorate the cute little cups of chocolate fudge.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    Here's what you'll need to make the recipe:

    Numbered ingredients to make the recipe.
    1. Almond Butter - Peanut butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or any nut butter will work. Use unsweetened if possible!
    2. Coconut Oil - Replaces the butter you would normally find in fudge. It helps it to quickly firm up too!
    3. Powdered Sugar - Sweetens and adds bulk.
      • Do not use granulated sugar or the result will be grainy.
      • Artificial sweetener can replace sugar one for one, if you're used to making this type of substitution. My head did a somersault afterwards.
      • Another option is to combine traditional powdered sugar and a sugar replacement like Better Than Sugar which contains Erythritol and Stevia Leaf Extract.
      • Use organic powdered sugar to keep the recipe vegan.
      • If you must restrict sugar for your diet, don't eat too many. Or make our chocolate date balls instead!
    4. Cocoa Powder - unsweetened. 
    5. Vanilla Extract
    6. Sprinkles - Get creative with what you have on hand. Halloween candy can be used to decorate the fudge or chop and mix it in. Chocolate chips, eyeballs, and candy corn are all fun. Dress up this recipe for any occasion. Of course, you can leave them off too!

    Directions with Pictures

    It takes less than 15 minutes to make freezer fudge. Here's what you need to do.

    Numbered steps to make the recipe.
    1. Melt peanut butter and coconut oil in the microwave oven and stir to combine. It will take about 30 seconds to a minute depending upon microwave wattage. The coconut oil will turn to a clear liquid.
    2. Stir powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
    3. Portion the batter into mini muffin tins. A festive paper cupcake insert makes the fudge easy to handle later.
    4. Decorate the top of the fudge with sprinkles, candy and a well-placed eye. Put the pan in the freezer to chill for about 10 minutes or until the almond butter fudge sets.

    Note: The sprinkles go on BEFORE it goes into the freezer. Very gently press the sprinkles down a little so they freeze in place.

    Alternative presentation: Line the bottom of an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the fudge mixture evenly over the bottom and decorate. Cut into squares after it has hardened.

    Storage

    Once the fudge is firm, keep it in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to enjoy it. The fudge won't melt at room temperature. However, it will soften a little and be messy to touch the longer it stays out. 

    Store in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator or about 2-3 months in the freezer.

    Expert Tips
    1. DO NOT use granulated sugar or fudge will be grainy.
    2. Use artificial sweeteners with caution. We like it best when we used a half and half combination of Better Than Sugar Powdered Sugar and Conventional Powdered Sugar.
    3. Instead of using a mini muffin tin, freezer fudge can be spread thinly in the bottom of an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish lined with parchment paper and cut into squares after it's chilled.
    4. Paper inserts make serving the fudge make serving easy.
    5. Use a toothpick to smooth out the top if necessary.
    6. Keep fudge refrigerated or in the freezer when you're not enjoying it.
