1. Prepare 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the top with coconut oil.

3. Whisk in the peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir until combined. Then add in the cocoa powder, roasted peanuts and salt. 
4. Pour fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle extra salt over the tops along with a few peanut halves for texture. Press gently to stick.
