The holiday season is in full swing and Christmas is just around the corner! What better way to spoil your family and friends than with some peppermint fudge? The best about this fudge, is that you don’t have to feel guilty indulging a little, because it’s sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar! My parents always made huge batches of fudge every year to give as gifts, so I have a soft spot in my heart for good gooey fudge and this recipe fills it. You can skip the peppermint extract and make this as normal fudge, you can even add nuts, or whatever toppings you want.
Hu Chocolate Gems
What is absolutely necessary in every fudge recipe? You guessed it, chocolate! My very favorite chocolate chips are Hu Kitchen dark chocolate gems. The only ingredients are organic cacao, unrefined organic coconut sugar and organic fair-trade cocoa butter. Their chocolate is made with simple ingredients that they “obsessively vet”. All Hu’s chocolate is paleo, vegan, organic, soy free, refined sugar free, with no emulsifiers or soy lecithin. Just clean ingredients! They also have chocolate bars, chocolate hunks, grain-free crackers and grain-free cookies. Check out their website here. Or click here to see Hu Gems on Amazon. If you can’t get your hands on the Hu gems, use any dairy free chocolate chips you can find.
