    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!
    • Most of all: enjoy!

      I’d love to try but the calories and fat per piece is “over my budget”. Any way to reduce these?

        Oh my goodness, thank you for bringing that to my attention! I recently switched recipe cards and that information was completely inaccurate! I've just updated it. As for reducing calories and fat in this recipe it is tricky with the use of coconut oil and cocoa butter as the base, which are rich in fats. The good alternatives for those ingredients (oils) are comparable in terms of calories and fat. While still somewhat calorie rich too, I often use almond butter in fudge recipes very similar to this which adds a nice dose of protein to help balance all else. I hope this helps at least a little bit! And sorry again for the crazy nutritional information! 🙂

      Oh I really want to try this! Although reading the recipe it says nothing about the two different colored layers. Did I miss something?

        Thank you! The layers happen naturally as the ingredients settle and harden! 🙂
