    FUDGE.... nothing says the Holidays better!

    Well unless it's Chocolate Fudge.....

    And of course loaded with pecans.... yes Please 🙋‍♀️ Do you prefer fudge plain or with nuts?

    Either way, the great thing about fudge is you can easily omit the pecans or even use another kind of nut.

    Personally I like a little nuts with my chocolate. 😉

    This Chocolate Fudge is rich creamy, and loaded with chocolatey flavor. Crunchy pecans added to the fudge making it a perfect treat for the holidays or anytime. Super easy to make with less then 10 minutes prep. Vegan, Paleo, GF and No added refined sugars.

    So let's talk ingredients in this Chocolate Fudge with Pecans:

    • Non-dairy dark chocolate chips- could sub regular dark chocolate chips if you don't need it to be Vegan
    • Coconut Milk- Full Fat
    • Almond Butter
    • Coconut Oil
    • Pure Vanilla extract
    • Maple syrup- optional
    • Chopped pecans- optional

    And one of my favorite things about Fudge.... well other then the obvious rich, creamy decadent taste....

    Would be how super easy it is to prepare. Like you can seriously prep this in just a few minutes and it's really hard to mess up.

    Cause guess what???? It's Chocolate! Can't mess that up.. 😆

    So with a million other Fudge recipes out there on the internet then.....

    What makes this Chocolate Fudge recipe so special?

    I guess you could say it's a little healthier than some of the others since it....

      This recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious. I did sub peanut butter for the almond butter and swirled some extra in after the fudge cooled a bit. My only suggestion would be to give the weight of the chocolate in grams as I used 70 percent bulk chocolate. I figured it out by weighing the cup and a half of chocolate chips so no worries. Thank you for this deliciousness!

      With it being vegan also, I bet I can convince my husband it is healthy! I am always looking for ways to have chocolate.

      For me, fudge HAS to have nuts. This version sounds fantastic! I'll be trying it this holiday season.
