Ingredients: Makes 12-24 brownies, depends on how big your eyes are.

4 cups medjool dates, seeds removed
1/2 cup dried peaches, diced (divided)
1/2 cup cold-pressed raw coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup raw honey
1/4 cup raw grounded flax meal
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 Ginger and Peach tea bags, contents of (open bags and use contents)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 ” fresh ginger, grated (I used 1 tsp ground ginger)

Preparation:

Prepare a 8×8, straight-edged pan by lining it with plastic wrap. This will help when it comes time to removing the fudge. Set aside.
To make flax meal, add flax seeds to spice or coffee grinder and process to a powder.
Place all ingredients, except for 1/4 cup of dried peaches, in to the food processor. Process using the “S” blade until everything is well incorporated.
Remove the dough and place in a large bowl.
Add the remaining diced dried peaches and work the dough by hand. Then using the palm of your hand, make folding motions with the dough so everything gets evenly distributed.
Press the dough into the pan, firm and evenly.
Put the fudge in the freezer and let it set for a least an hour or overnight.
Slice into desired sized squares and EAT!
IF you have any left over, I recommend storing them in the fridge as they will soften a bit.
These freeze amazingly!
Garish ideas; after cutting into squares, drizzle each one with honey, dice up some extra dried peaches or ginger and sprinkle over the top!
