Low Carb Peanut Butter Fudge

This is a guest post from Dawn Farias. She is going to be sharing her favorite low carb dishes with us in a new monthly series.

This recipe is a very useful one, I think, for low carbers. Caution!! Do not combine this recipe with your regular diet if you are not low carbing. It’s very high in fat! Enjoy!

What you’ll need:

• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 c. powdered artificial sweetener
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla

In a microwaveable-safe bowl, heat the cream cheese, peanut butter and butter until the butter is melted.  Whisk this mixture well.  Blend in the artificial sweetener and vanilla.  Pour the fudge mixture into an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan, smooth the top, cover and refrigerate until firm.

Slice into one inch squares and store in the refrigerator.

Dawn Farias knows a lot about low carb diets. Her son’s epilepsy was controlled for 3 1/2 years by using a Modified Atkins Diet. He’s now off the diet and his seizures are gone! You can find more from Dawn online at her digiscrap and blog design site, Dawn by Design.
