Recipe Review: "Healthy Fudge"


First item of business is that I would like to apologize to those who have been leaving comments on this blog for not posting or replying to them. I love your comments, I mean I really live for them, today I noticed that there were some left quite a long time ago that I never got notification of so that I could reply to them and I'm sick about it. Know your comments mean a lot to me and I like to reply if I can.

Next item of business, fudge. This is a review of a series of videos from ehow. It took way too long for me to watch them all, I much prefer a written recipe I can scan. But I have to say I really like this fudge. It is not traditional and I wouldn't serve it at a party but to have a healthy alternative to all the chocolate goodies around this time of year is a great thing. Notice there is not much sweetener in this recipe, if you are used to a dark chocolate taste and not an overly sweet one you will like this as is. If you have a sweeter tooth add more honey. The video presenter credits Jordan Rubin for this recipe, he is the author of several books including The Maker's Diet.

Note: This is not an SCD legal recipe

  1. Fantastic! I'm giving this a try. Are these your photos? If so, you should be a professional food photographer (unless you already are). They're beautiful and hunger inducing. Maybe a cookbook????

  2. Thanks Hiit Mama, I am blushing! These are my photos, which I really enjoy taking. I am thinking of a cookbook, just getting some ideas together. You are such a positive person, thanks for your comments and I can't wait to hear about your new little one.
