clean eating fudge

i have had a serious sweet tooth lately. brett and i went to casper wy for a short business trip. we consequently ate out, every meal, for 3 days. try as you may to choose healthy options, when you aren't in control of making your own food, you consume a lot of random garbage. i am trying to clean my body up and get back on track. i can't even tell you how much food controls your mood, energy, complexion, brightness of your eyes, health of your teeth, hair, and even how you smell. when sugar cravings come, i instantly want a quick fix. if fruit doesn't do it for me... chocolate is always the answer ; ) its by far my favorite indulgence. this recipe is great because it is fast! so simple. requires little cleaning. oh, and did i mention? its dang freaking good. as always, its free of refined sugars. you can keep this soft (about the consistency of frosting) and use it as a fruit dip. you can also plop it into silicone muffin cups and freeze for a firmer fudge. i even use it as frosting from time to time.  i'm all out of my good nut butter. i usually choose an organic peanut butter, fresh almond butter, or a cashew butter. today i did skippy. it was still good. not an organic choice, but just use what you have on hand. improving the ingredient quality as you go.



clean eating fudge:

1 cup coconut oil (consistency of shortening, not liquid, not solid)
1/2 cup nut butter
1 cup organic maple syrup
generous 1/2 cup raw cocoa powder (more if you're a dark chocolate fan)
pinch of sea salt

combine all ingredients in bowl. dip in fruit, or spoon into silicone muffin cups and freeze.

enjoy!

This tastes Amazing!!! Very rich and satisfying, but i still had to make it in much smaller measurements because I was afraid I'd eat the whole thing throughout the course of a day.
