Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

November 2, 2016 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

healthy sugar free peanut butter fudge that's SO easy to make...you won't believe that it didn't come from a candy shoppe!

This Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge is going to save me this holiday season. They taste like something naughty and decadent out of that little candy shop that you passed on vacation. But these little treats are full of nourishing (think bulletproof!) fats, and protein, making them a perfect little pick me up treat. And they’re JUST…

This decadent peppermint fudge recipe will blow your mind...it's incredibly creamy, but sugar free, and packed with healthy fats like bulletproof coffee! Click here for the recipe...

This peppermint fudge recipe will blow your mind. It doesn’t taste healthy…it tastes like it came out of one of those overpriced vacation fudge shops. BUT, it’s actually sugar free, full of healthy fats, and it’s raw/uncooked, so it’s very, very easy to make. It’s a twist on an older coconut oil fudge recipe that…

Candied Apple Cinnamon Granola Bar Recipe

November 2, 2015 By Gwen Brown 15 Comments

The granola bar recipe I posted years ago is still my kids ABSOLUTE favorite. It’s relatively healthy, since it’s sweetened with honey and peanut butter. If I’m gonna cheat or cross over on my diet, this is my choice. Every. Time. But sometimes, I’d like to have an option that’s just for me, so that I can…
