I don’t care how well you think you know me…. you can’t prove that those are my teeth marks!
This is a freezer fudge. What does that mean? It means that this isn’t the best fudge to take on a picnic or potluck. Nor do you want to stash a piece in your purse for a midday snack. But I will say that I did the official, “I-Purposely-Left-That-On-The-Counter-Don’t-Touch-That-Or-You-Will-Be-Sorry-Mister” test. And at 30 minutes, it was still holding its shape, but when I went to pick it up, it was very soft.
Below you will notice a picture where I poured the batter into small tins. I thought this would make a perfect gift. You can keep them in the freezer, and as you run out the door to meet your friends or family for coffee, lunch, or dinner, you can grab one of these on the way out of the door and become a super-hero! You will appear calm, organized, and ahead of the ball game. You can thank me for that later. :) Or have a game night with your loved ones and bring one of these out with a few spoons. Let everyone dig in while you come up with the earth-shattering, award-winning, high-score Scrabble word!! I love Scrabble even though I am one of the world’s worst spellers.
You may not know this about me, but I have a condition called: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia! This means that I have a fear of long words. Yep, it’s true. Kind of ironic that such a fear, should come with such a loooong word, don’t you think? Haha, So my strategic approach to Scrabble is to utilize the double word, triple word, squares. Almost every game, I get the letter tiles to spell IQ. Can’t get much shorter than that and have you seen the price of a “Q” these days?! Scoff at me, but I have walked away with 33 points for that baby! Ok, I have gotten off the beaten path with that story. What more can I say, fudge… it’s creamy, delicious, healthy so darn easy to make.
Ingredients:yields 4 cups fudge
Orange and cranberries? Wonderful!
I love these flavors together Christine… they both have such a brightness to them. I hope you try it. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you and your loved ones. amie sue
Looks awesome, and I can “taste,” it just by reading it. Maybe this is the snack sweet for next week.
Sweet snack of the week! Enjoy Ben and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Congratulations on another superb creation.
Ah thank you Ben :) Ddi you make it?
Yes, indeed. Already half the pan’s been consumed by the locusts I live with.
I couldn’t find unsugared dried cranberries, so I used golden raisins instead. As with all your creations, this one, too, would be equally wonderful with different flavorings.
Awesome Ben… I love how you view the recipes. I try to make recipes as a base, a spring board for others to jump off of and create them to fit either what is in the pantry or what ever tastes you most enjoy. Thank you for being so adventuresome and enjoying the process. Bob and I giggles when we read about the locusts that you live with. hahah Happy New Year! amie sue
What can you use instead of cashews?
Hempseeds?
Hello Chris… I don’t think it cross over the same. You could try coconut butter?
So 2 more cups of coconut butter?
Chris… now that I think about it, I worry that if you use straight coconut butter, that it will really change the texture. All though that won’t be a bad thing. As is the fudge softens at room temp after 30 minutes. If you make it with all coconut butter, it most likely will remain very firm, making it to where you can cut it into cubes. Worth a shot. Let me know if you try it. amie sue
Delightfully delicious–that is rawilicious!!!!!!
is coconut butter..just coconut oil hardened?
Hello Chelle, no they are two different forms of coconut. Please read through this posting that I did….https://nouveauraw.com/members-only/coconut-oil-vs-coconut-butter/ This should help :) Blessings, amie sue
