This has become one of my favorite treats.

Coconut Oil Chocolate Fudge

While I like all the recipes posted on this blog, I don’t make everything on a regular basis, usually because it can be a bit time-consuming in some way (case in point, these Snickers bars).

I do, however, have a few favorites that are in constant rotation, most of them revolving around chocolate somehow.

My Homemade Chocolate and this Sugar-Free Cookie Slice are regulars, as are these healthy fruit-based desserts.

Now added to the list…this fudge!

When my husband and I were first married, and I was pregnant with Jade, we took a trip up to a small town in Arizona called Jerome.

It’s one of those quaint towns where you’ll find old, historical buildings, lots of kitschy gift shops, and a homemade fudge store.

While up there, we indulged in some of the best tasting fudge I’ve had! Sugar and butter, why are you so damn delicious?!

I never thought I’d be able to recreate something similar (I still love you bean fudge), but, for me, this comes awfully close, and it’s healthy!

Please enjoy the following video showing you just how to make it!

    This fudge sounds so good! I love the added gogi berries – makes it so pretty.
    It’s funny to hear you reminisce about the cute fudge shop. I honestly never liked fudge before going vegan, but this sounds like something I would actually enjoy. It sounds like a sweet treat without overindulging. I didn’t get a chance to check out your video yet, but will give it a peek soon =)
    Thank you so much for sharing this at Healthy Vegan Fridays – I’m featuring your recipe this week. I’m also pinning and sharing (and saving for later!).

    Your fudge looks beautiful, Lauren! It’s so nice to see a healthier recipe for fudge (why are sugar and butter so damn delicious!!??!) that still looks so creamy and delicious. I’ll be featuring your post at this week’s Hearth and Soul Hop. Thank you for being a part of our Hearth and Soul Hop community.

    Wow Lauren! This fudge looks dreamy <3 the perfect healthy chocolate treat for Valentine's Day! I have fond memories of fudge during my first pregnancy too – I went through a phase of making caramel fudge, I think it was mainly sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar and butter 😐 you've got me thinking I should make a healthified version of that!

    This is a little different than my recipe for it. I’m going to try yours soon. Often, we drizzle a bit of peanut butter in ours to get a chocolate/pb swirl and my daughters love it! And I love them filling it with healthy fats!

    I make fudge or chocolate like this all the time! I love how simple but so delicious AND nutritious it is! I definietly need to keep this fudge stocked in my fridge for when that late night craving hits. Lately I’ve just been making homemade hot cocoa with marshmallows 🙂
