Coconut Caramel Fudge
Fudge was a treat my family made often when I was young. More times than not, it was the dessert made for birthdays and celebrations. The kind we made though was not healthy at all - loaded with huge amounts of white sugar and other undesirable ingredients. This fudge, on the other hand, is so much healthier. Packed with healthy fats from the coconut oil and nut butter, naturally sweetened with honey and… it’s just as delicious! It requires few ingredients, minutes of melting/stirring time and no candy thermometer is required! This caramel fudge recipe is the perfect example of an easy dessert or snack that's actually good for you. Yup, that means no butter, no white sugar and no sweetened condensed milk… just pure, fudgy, chocolatey goodness.Really though, this salted caramel fudge is creamy, rich, and decadent yet healthy and insanely delicious! It’s my favorite kind of healthy…the kind that doesn’t taste healthy at all! Between the decadent chocolate bottom layer of fudge and the gooey salted caramel topping, this is as delicious as it gets! Perfect for indulging your sweet tooth without the guilt!It’s great for gifts, dessert platters, pot lucks, family gatherings or any time you want a piece of deliciousness. All real food ingredients, vegan, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free! A decadent treat you can feel good about. |This fudge is super soft, yet holds its shape long enough for you to pop them in your mouth… where they then melt in your mouth. Yum!If you're looking for a quick and easy dessert to make at home, you will love this creamy caramel fudge. Its like a mix between a brownie and a chocolate bar without the cakey part. Fully customizable too – you can add your own extras like nuts, dried fruit, seeds or other flavours to the simple base recipe.One little square makes me happy in an instant. It’s soft and it melts in your mouth so beautifully. I top the fudge with a sprinkle of sea salt for a perfect sweet, salty combination. Hard to believe that a super yummy treat like this one, that tastes awesome and fuels your body with pure goodness does sound too hard to believe. But its true.These little bites of chocolatey decadence are rich and delicious AND they are actually good for you!
