While blending, slowly add the vanilla extract, the nut butter, and agave syrup, until completely combined into a smooth mixture. Then slowly add the melted butter, while processing at high speed.

Transfer the mixture to a square container about 15×15 cm, lined with parchment paper. Fold in the chocolate chips and gently smooth out the surface with a spoon. Sprinkle some salt flakes on top and chill for at least 4 hours in order for the fudge to firm up. Once firm, remove from the container, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
I recommend using hazelnut butter for this recipe because of its nougaty taste, but any nut butter will do.
