My friend Judy taught me how to make this the other day and I was blown away... it is a perfect snack to keep in the fridge for when you need a little "pick me up". And she swears that it is "good for you"!
Antioxidant Rich "Fudge"
1 c. coconut oil
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. cocoa
1/3 c. almond butter (give or take a little depending on your taste)
1/3 c. almond butter (give or take a little depending on your taste)
4 tsp vanilla
Splash coconut milk (that is what the recipe says, i used about 2 tbsp.)
Melt the coconut oil, then add the other ingredients, stir... it is that easy - pour it into a waxed/or parchment paper lined pan, then refrigerate until it sets. You need to keep it refrigerated because as you might already know coconut oil is not very stable, (it melts at a pretty low temperature).
I used one bowl, one spoon and one measuring cup. it is pretty simple and easy to make.

I made this with my friend and enjoyed it, but My imagination went wild as I thought about all the "healthy additions" that I could add. The first thing I added was chopped almonds and dried blueberries, that was so tasty...
However, the options are limitless! Here are some of the things that i came up with that you could stir in:
dried blueberries
dried cherries
chopped dates
shredded coconut
shredded coconut
pumpkin seeds
chopped almonds
chopped pistachios
cocoa nibs
You can buy Crio nibs from the "Criobru" website here http://www.criobru.com/crio-nibs/. They are a great addition to baked goods or even smoothies. I bought the pistachios and almonds from Costco, and the other items from your local store (Whole-foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts etc)! I would love to hear other ideas of things you decide to throw in your batch of all-natural antioxidant "fudge". 
I need to quit looking at this picture ... :)
