Christmas carols and decorations everywhere…no wonder I’m starting to feel a little bit christmassy already! Last week we posted our first Christmas recipe – rosemary cranberry cookies. If you’re up for more delicious Christmas treats, stay tuned!
If you have been following our blog, you probably know by now that we love easy and healthy recipes. We also love treats (who could resist chocolate?!). This Christmas chocolate fudge recipe combines all of these – it’s ridiculously easy to make, you only need 3 ingredients plus some spices, it’s healthier than traditional fudge and it’s a super delicious treat for the whole family!
What I love most about this Christmas chocolate fudge (besides the great taste) is that it’s totally free from refined sugar. It’s entirely sweetened with dates. If you’re craving for more sweetness, you can always add a little bit of maple syrup. But for me it was sweet enough without it. It’s also dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan. So most of you should be able to enjoy it! If you have a nut allergy, you can leave the nuts out and use for example shredded coconut instead.
I love to make Christmas presents by myself and I think the best gifts are homemade treats. This Christmas chocolate fudge would make a great Christmas present! Just cut the fudge in small pieces, wrap them into parchment paper (see picture below) and store in a beautiful glass container.

Where is the fireball fudge recipe? Or was this whole thing an exercise in bait and switch?
