Two Kinds of Coconut Fudge

This was my attempt to get more raw coconut oil into our diet.  Our hands are getting so dried out in the winter time, and when I take more coconut oil internally, I don't get the bleeding cracks.  My daughter's hands are red and raw so she's excited to try the candy cure.  Both are is delicious!  To keep ingredients raw, you've gotta soften the coconut oil and raw honey. 


In the summertime, my coconut oil is already soft.  But in the wintertime, you have to put the jar in a put of warm/hot water to soften it.  To soften raw honey, bring a pot of water to a boil.  Remove the pot from the heat.  Then put the honey in the pot and let it sit. 

 Choco Coconut Fudge 

1 c.  raw, unrefined, virgin, etc coconut oil, softened
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1/2 c. raw honey, softened  (or more, to taste.  Can also use agave)
1 c. almonds
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt 

Blend up soaked/dehydrated raw almonds  (best choice if you've got them) in the food processor until almonds were in very small pieces.   You can keep the almonds chunkier if you like. 
Mix together all the  ingredients.  Pour onto parchment paper in 8x8 pan and spread out.  Put in fridge.  When hardened, cut into squares.  Store in refrigerator.


Vanilla Maple Coconut Fudge

1 c. coconut oil
1/4 c. maple syrup (could do all maple syrup if desired)
1/4 c. honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt 

Mix ingredients.  Pour onto parchment paper and into 8x8 pan.  Refrigerate.  You may need to stir occasionally as it is hardening.  Once hardened, cut into squares and store in fridge.
