This Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge caused quite a stir when I posted pics on Twitter last week.
And for good reason too. I mean, how yummy does it look?
An easy, no-cook fudge that you can whip up in minutes, this is an intense chocolatey hit that will satisfy any sweet toothed cravings.
Created without using any refined sugars and made with coconut oil (oh, you all know how addicted I am!) and raw almond butter, this is a pretty guilt-free indulgence.
I adapted this from The Sweet Life, but then spotted that the fab Oh She Glows has pretty much the same recipe too. So I am in good company indeed!
The hazelnuts can easily be left out, but I think they add great texture and crunch. Oh, and hazelnuts and chocolate always reminds me of Nutella, which can only be a good thing...

P.S If you want an extra chocolatey treat, try topping with a healthier ganache - simply mix my 3 Ingredient Chocolate with a splash of almond milk and off you go!
