Raw Almond Chocolate Fudge



There are times where chocolate just hits a good spot. There are some pantry staples that I always stock up. The are almond butter, coconut oil, nuts and definitely chocolate.

An offer came up recently with Mayver's super spread nut butter. It's a mix of peanut, chia and almond. There were going for half price! What a treat. So I grabbed 2 bottles to give treats a go.

Mixing them up with some coconut oil and more nuts plus cacao powder, I placed it in the fridge and tadah, a protein enriched chocolate treat that is refined sugar free and good for us. They are freezer friendly as well which gives it a gorgeous crunch when you are ready to bite into them.

Raw Almond Chocolate Fudge (24 small pieces)
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1/2 cup of nut butter
1/3 cup of cacao powder
1 tsp of vanilla paste
1 tablespoon of honey
1/3 cup of silvered almonds

Beat or mix oil and butter together. Mix through vanilla, honey and cacao powder till smooth. Lastly add nuts. Pour into a lined brownie tray and freeze it for 2 hours. Slice and eat!

That looks yum and so easy to make! I feel sad for my nut-allergic son who probably will never get to enjoy the nutritious deliciousness of tree nuts and peanuts (he developed most of his food allergies when he was about 3 months old - a few months before he started any solids!). Hoping that baby girl is free from allergies! I'll be so nervous giving her nut butters to try in a couple of months time because I've spent the last 5+ years doing quite the opposite for my boy. Has your son tried nut butters yet?
