Today I’ll be sharing a recipe from my early childhood. When I was small, my mom kept us well with home-cooked meals that included plenty of unprocessed, whole foods, and very little sugar. One of the treats she would make for us included “Healthy Fudge”. The original recipe contained peanut butter, wheat germ, and powdered milk, none of which I can tolerate today. So I revamped it and enjoy it as much, if not more, than the original.
Healthy Fudge
makes about 16 balls
1/2 cup cashew butter (or almond butter or tahini)
1/2 cup molasses, honey or (1/4 cup of each)
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, plus extra for rolling
1 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and stir together with a spoon. Add in chocolate chips if using. Put some coconut into a small bowl.
