Looking for a healthier crowd-pleasing dessert? Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Fudge is a unique take on two favorites, but is secretly guilt-free! Vegan + Gluten-free!
Can someone please tell me how it is mathematically, statistically, logically, and emotionally possible to dislike chocolate? I cannot wrap my head around this one. How does one despise the taste of the most glorious food in the world? Think about it; if you dislike chocolate, you miss out on a dessert world of opportunity. Could you imagine turning your nose up at to a ginourmous slice or a decadent 7 layer chocolate cake? Or gagging at the site of a right-out-of-the-oven gooey brownie? Or turning down a glorious chocolatey piece of fudge?

Believe it or not, my cousin is one of those people. I always asks her how she gets her sweet fix, but she always explains to me that there are plenty non-chocolate desserts that she enjoys. Sometimes I forget that there is a world outside of chocolate desserts. You know apple pie, cheesecake, blondies, vanilla cupcakes, white chocolate……the list could go on. It saddens me though, that these chocolate haters will never know the delicious taste of fudge. That is until I made a non-chocolate version to feed their souls.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Fudge. How does that sound? When the idea first came into my mind, it tickled my heart. A simple chocolate-less, sinless, crowd-pleasing dessert that is perfect for any holiday get-together. Who say’s you need chocolate to make fudge? Call me a rebel, but I say nay.

This is such a great idea! My mouth is watering just looking at it. 🙂
You had me at fudge. THIS LOOKS SO GOOD.
This looks amazing! Fudge is a tradition in my family around the holidays but I’ve quit making it in the name of cleaner treats. This is the perfect solution! We love oatmeal cookies with Farmer Direct oats too. 🙂
Do you like chocolate? Hahahaha! I don’t have to answer that 😛
Really, those sorts of people actually exist!?! I’ve heard rumor before but it all sounds a little far fetched…I mean it’s chocolate!! Haha! Sometimes I find myself adding chocolate to every sweet treat I make and then I have to remind myself that there are other flavors out there too 😀 Like this oatmeal raisin deliciousness!! With the maple and the cinnamon it all sounds perfect together. And I am loving the thought of smooth fudge meets crumbly chunky oat + raisin mixture–YUM!!
Ummmmmm, I don’t trust people who DON’T love chocolate so it’s safe to say I’m a chocolate fan 😉
This looks amazing. You took an already delicious treat and made it 10,000x more delicious!
I’m with you, I’m all about the chocolate! I could totally go for a slice of 7 layer chocolate cake right about now…. though this cookie fudge sounds good to me too!
I’m so glad you created this recipe. Oatmeal raisin cookies are my absolute favourite!
I need to get so more creative about fudge; you have all these amazing recipes that aren’t chocolate. I love chocolate, but I love trying non-chocolatey things too. Now I’m thinking some oatmeal raisin cookie fudge is in order, and I would love to check out Farmer Direct.
I don’t get people who dislike chocolate either. My ex didn’t really like it…but my husband does. I love sharing it with him. But he (well, both of us) would LOVE this fudge too.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Fudge? Ummmmmmm yes please, I want some 🙂 I can’t imagine disliking chocolate, sometimes a little chocolate is the highlight of my day.
I don’t understand people who don’t like chocolate either! Mind blowing, but more for us! 🙂 These oatmeal raisin cookie fudge doesn’t even need chocolate though – it looks SOO good! Dying for a bite!
Love the ingredients in these and Farmer Direct oats are great, such high-quality! I love that you used cashew butter too, one of my all-time favorites! <3
I could definitely get into this fudge!! Love the use of the cashew butter and the oats to keep them nice and sturdy and healthy!
Made it… and can’t wait to see how it turns out. I don’t know if I can wait 2 hours. 😀
Well I USED to be a chocolate hater (gasp!) – it was just too bitter for me! But now I’m all about it. Though I would totally dig into these non-chocolate fudge bites too!!
Oh, fudge. I haven’t had it in ages!
And these are made with cashew butter too. I love that difference from normal fudge. 😉
Oh my! Have I ever told you how much I love these dessert and cookie mashups?? I have such a soft spot for oatmeal raisin… so these have my name all over them! Drooling + pinning! 😉
Oatmeal raisin is one of my favorite flavors! Never would’ve thought of fudge, though! Love this idea!!
I remember drooling over this when I saw on Pinterest, and now here I am drooling again. LOVE fudge this time of year and this is THE MOST creative fudge recipe I’ve ever seen!
I love chocolate! But this fudge looks so good, and such a great idea. Perfect for people that can’t have chocolate.
This. Is. Brilliant. OMG.

My dad and my hubby are not chocolate lovers – I will never understand it. But that’s just fine because more for me. However, this fudge is looking mighty fine! I don’t even like raisins and you’ve got me craving this!! 🙂 Hubby loves raisins though, as do the kids, so I can’t wait to try this!
