Mike Geary’s Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

…or if you prefer, omit the peanut butter for plain chocolate fudge

One 3-4 oz. bar Extra dark chocolate (cocoa content of 70% or more)

4 or 5 Tbsp organic nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter)

2/3 to 3/4 cup organic coconut milk (good source of healthy saturated fats)

2 tbsp rice bran (healthy fiber)

2 tbsp oat bran (healthy, soluble fiber)

1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts (more healthy fats, antioxidants, plus lots of vitamins and minerals)

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (your preference, optional)

1 tsp vanilla extract

A little Stevia to sweeten lightly (unlike harmful artificial sweeteners, Stevia is a natural non-caloric sweetener)

Heat coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in medium saucepan over the lowest heat possible. Stir constantly until melted together. After this mixture has melted, add all other ingredients and stir well to combine.

Line a baking dish with waxed paper, spread mixture into dish, and set in refrigerator to cool and harden. That’s it, you’re done!

No added sugar, no artificial sweetener, and only healthy fat sources – isn’t that great?! Granted, you do need to refrain from eating huge amounts because healthy as this is, it’s still dense in calories. However, it has less sugar and fewer calories than standard fudge, and a whole lot more nutrition. Enjoy!
