I have a real sweet tooth, but I also try to make them healthier than typical desserts, which are basically just junk food. The problem with a lot of desserts that are deemed to be "healthy" is that they simply improve the flavor by taking away fat and adding sugar (or using artificial sweeteners). Nothing healthy about that!
Today, I am going to share with you a chocolate- peanut- butter fudge recipe that is very easy to make. It fact, it will take only 5 minutes to bake! And, it adds no sugar or artificial sweeteners. Instead, it relies on fat sources which are healthy. (And if you don't like peanut butter, you can simply leave it out and just use chocolate)
* Extra dark chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar is good. Try for one with at least 70% cocoa content, which minimizes sugar)
* 4 or 5 Tbsp of any organic nut butter
* 2/3 to 3/4 cup of organic coconut milk
* 2 tbsp rice bran (good fiber source)
* 2 tbsp oat bran (again, more fiber)
* 1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts (these fats are healthy, have antioxidants, and lots of vitamins and minerals)
* 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (not required)
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* a little stevia to lightly sweeten (stevia is a natural sweetener that has no calories)
Put the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a saucepan and turn the heat to the lowest level possible. Stir all the contents together, then add everything else in. Then, spread your mixture onto some waxed paper that's in a baking dish and put it in the refrigerator. You now have fudge that is much more nutritional than any other type you will find!
