This week’s SLB member recipe is for everyone! As many of you know, I'm a chocoholic. This healthy, chocolate + coconut + sea salt guiltless alternative to fudge is always in my freezer.  It's easy to make and so delicious.  Loaded with heart-healthy fats and protein, it’s the kind of treat that will kill a craving and leave you super satisfied. 

Prep time:  10 min.  Serves: 10-15

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw cashew butter (store bought or homemade)

• 2 tablespoons coconut manna

• 3 tablespoons coconut oil

• ¼ cup cocoa powder

• ¼ cup orange blossom honey (Bee Free Honee or maple syrup can also be used)

• 1 teaspoon course sea salt

Directions:

1. If you're making the nut butter, place 1 1/2 cups of cashews in your Vitamix or high speed blender and mix until smooth

2. Mix together the nut butter, coconut manna and coconut oil until smooth (this is much easier if ingredients are warm).

3. Add in the cocoa powder, honey and sea salt and stir until creamy.

4. Transfer the mixture to a dish, lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy removal.

5. Place the dish in the freezer, and allow the fudge to set for an hour before slicing and serving. Due to the coconut manna/oil mixture, the fudge will become pretty soft if it's left out for a while, so it’s best served directly from, and stored in the freezer.
