Top Tips + Substitutions

• This sugar-free fudge can be stored in the freezer or the refrigerator before serving and enjoying. You can store in the freezer for up to 6 months or the fridge for 7 days.
• If you are sensitive to one of powerful plants in this recipe, it is okay to omit or lower the amount added without altering the taste of the recipe.
• This vegan fudge has strong calming & relaxing effects. I advise only consuming it before bedtime or when you are all settled in at home with no plans to drive, or work for sustained periods of time with strong focus.
• The stevia in this recipe adds a fair amount of sweetness for a real (guilt-free) treat. Feel free to adjust the stevia powder for your preferred sweetness level. You can simply taste test before freezing!
