If you’ve got a chocolate sweet tooth like me – you’ll love this guilt free slow cooker recipe for homemade fudge! The recipe relies on flavors we know and love including dark chocolate, coconut milk, and vanilla.
Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet. Studies show that dark chocolate (not the sugary crap) can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease. – via Authority Nutrition
Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Unlike cow’s milk, coconut milk is lactose free so can be used as a milk substitute by those with lactose intolerance. – via BBC Good Food
