6 Ingredient Rocky Road Brownie Freezer Fudge {Gluten-free & Vegan}

August 20, 2017 by Bethany 6 Comments

Rocky Road Brownie Freezer Fudge is a simple no-bake treat that’s made with only 6 ingredients and can be made in 5 minutes! Low-carb, GF & Vegan!

Time for another fudge recipe! Drum rolllll please…..

Ta da! Isn’t she a beaut? This is actually the first fudge recipe on the blog that has chocolate in it. I know, you’re like what? But it’s the truth, I’ve made blueberry muffin fudge and oatmeal raisin cookie fudge, so a chocolate version was way overdue.

This fudge is actually better than simple chocolate fudge for two reasons. 1). It’s made from brownie mix and 2). It’s rocky road. Oh and another bonus reason: It’s healthier than normal fudge.

I used Silver Fern’s natural gluten-free cake brownie mix for this recipe. Not only does it taste great, but this mix is low carb (7b net carbs per serving), has no sugar alcohol and is made with healthy ingredients. I also added Cenavi 70% dark chocolate flats which are low in calories, high in fiber and only have 1g of net carbs per serving.

You only need six ingredients! Here they are:

Silver Fern cake brownie mix

cashew butter

coconut oil

chopped nuts

walnuts

Cenavi chocolate flats

Rocky Road Brownie Freezer Fudge

A simple, easy, low-carb fudge recipe that your whole family will love!

EASY Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Freezer Fudge {Vegan + Gluten-free}

December 3, 2016 by Bethany 28 Comments

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?

“This post is sponsored by Farmer’s Direct Co-op. As always, all opinions are my own.”

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.

My friends at Farmer’s Direct Co-op hooked me up with some fabulous products, and I included their organic rolled oats in this recipe. You know what I love about this company? 100% of their products are farmer owned and are certified organic and fair trade. I choose to partner with their company because I believe that farmers and their land should be treated fairly. To learn more about this evolution click here.

Ok, now back to the recipe! Here is what you need:

Farmer’s Direct Co-op Organic rolled oats

raisins

cashew butter

maple syrup

coconut oil

vanilla

cinnamon

sliced almonds

Andddd thats a wrap up! Now go on and make this delicious guilt-free fudge! It will please chocolate lovers and chocolate-haters alike!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Freezer Fudge

Cashew butter fudge and oatmeal raisin cookies collide in this irresistible, guilt-free dessert! It’s super simple to make and will please everyone’s taste buds! Also vegan and gluten-free friendly!

Easy Fudge: Lemon-Blueberry Muffin Freezer Fudge {Vegan, Paleo & GF}

June 26, 2016 by Bethany 55 Comments

Do you love blueberry muffins? Then make this easy fudge recipe that taste like lemon-blueberry muffin batter! Super simple to make and healthy! Also vegan, paleo and gluten-free!

I have never met a person who didn’t like blueberry muffins. I think it’s impossible to dislike them, they’re just sooooo good. My mom used to buy the huge bigger-than-your-face ones from Costco all the time. I would eat the whole entire one for breakfast nbd.

She would also buy the variety pack with all the different flavors, but it was always a competition for the blueberry muffin. Out of six muffins to choose from, Rachel, my brother and I always wanted the blueberry. Of course we could share it, but who does that? Little kids don’t like sharing their prized possessions.

I haven’t had a giant blueberry muffin in ages, and I caught myself dreaming of one the other night, literally. But i haven’t made a plain blueberry muffin recipe ever for the blog because #basic. So I opted for the same great flavor of blueberry muffin in fudge form. BOOYA.

This fudge taste like lemon-blueberry muffin batter with a tasty lemony crumble on top. Could fudge get any better than this? Nah man. Blueberry muffin fudge for the win.

Lemon-Blueberry Muffin Freezer Fudge

It’s hard to believe that this fudge recipe is healthier than a blueberry muffin! Made with cashew butter, coconut oil and maple syrup, this easy recipe is stored in the freezer. Pop them out whenever you need something sweet!

Lemon-Blueberry Crumble Muffin Fudge {Paleo, Vegan, GF}

1/4 cup nut meal
2 Tbsp. crushed nuts
1 Tbsp. coconut sugar
1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil melted
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. lemon zest

Instructions

Spread mixture evenly into a loaf pan/ small glass pan coated with cooking spray.

The BEST Flourless Dark Chocolate Zucchini Brownies {GF & Vegan Option}

June 7, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 86 Comments

These Paleo Dark Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies are so dense and fudgey that you would never guess that they are guilt-free! Also vegan and gluten-free!

*Pictures updated 6/2/2017*

I’m not gonna lie, I feel pretty basic posting this recipe.

Not that this recipe is that basic, but it’s not like our other recipes, which isn’t a bad thing. We love to let our creativity shine through sweet recipes and create unique and tasty flavor combinations, like here and here.

Simple and basic can be good sometimes, especially when it comes to something everything loves, brownies. Everyone loves a good brownie, especially when dense, moist (sorry I know you hate that word!) and fudgey.

The challenge was trying to create a flourless brownie that is both paleo and vegan friendly and doesn’t taste “healthy.” I don’t like to tell people that the food I make is “healthy” because there is a certain stereotype to healthy food that makes people believe that it tastes like cardboard, which is completely not true!

To us, healthy means being made with real and whole ingredients, not “low-fat” or “low-calorie” processed foods.

These brownies totally crush that “healthy” stereotype. We brought them in to our gym friends without tell them that these brownies are healthier than traditional brownies and they loved them. Some people even asked what boxed mix we used.

Dark Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies

Many times gluten-free brownies are dry and are more cake-like. To solve that problem, these brownies have hidden veggies, aka grated zucchini to keep them dense and fudgey, not cakey.

The dark cocoa powder makes these brownies super rich and chocolatey while the chocolate glaze is the icing on the cake (so punny!).

These brownies are so rich and delicious that you won’t be able to tell that they are flourless, paleo, gluten-free and vegan! They will become your new favorite brownie recipe!

Pumpkin Sticky Bun Fudge {Paleo + Vegan!}

October 21, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 49 Comments

hatEasy-to-make and healthy Pumpkin Sticky Bun Fudge that is a combination of your favorite seasonal desserts in one!

One dessert that i rarely make is fudge and to be honest, I don’t know why. I just never thought about making it for some odd reason! Well anyway, this weekend I decided it was time to make fudge for my older Sister’s baby shower (because she requested that i make something seasonal and I’ve already made pumpkin in the form of every other dessert ).

Since the Recipe Redux theme this month is Nut’s Galore, I knew that adding two types (almond butter and pecans) of nuts in this recipe was a perfect idea!

I know there are a lot of pumpkin fudge recipes out there and I didn’t wanna just make another pumpkin fudge recipe. I combined two of my favorite fall-inspired desserts into this fudge to make it original (sticky buns and pumpkin pie).

So technically this recipe is 3 desserts in one and nothing short of amazing.

My older sister and everyone at the baby shower was raving about it (and they didn’t even know that it was healthy!) You should have seen the look on their face when I told them that there was no refined sugar, butter or condensed milk in it.

This is just proof t desserts can be made with whole ingredients and still be just as, if not more delicious than unhealthy recipes!

EASY Pumpkin Sticky Bun Fudge

I didn’t even tell them that it was paleo and vegan too, mostly because they don’t know what that means! Whether you are vegan, paleo, a conscious eater or neither, you will love this Pumpkin Sticky Bun Fudge!

Healthy Rice Krispie Fudge

April 9, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 17 Comments

I remember looking at a Rachael Ray magazine a few years ago and coming across a recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch. I was so mesmerized how it had rice cereal for added texture and flavor and knew I had to make it. So I did, a couple batches for my sister grad party, for every family holiday party, every birthday party and so on.

It was just that good, until I realized the ingredients list and nutrition facts were pretty scary. 450 calories and over 33 grams of fat and 26 grams of sugar for one serving! I used to eat about 4 servings at a time! Anyways, getting to the point of this post, that recipe was my motivation for this one! Absolutely no refined sugar, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and vegan. I used Sunbutter for this recipe to keep it nut-free but feel free to use any nut butter!

Healthy Rice Krispy Fudge

1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup sunflower seed butter (I used sunbutter brand)
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
2 Tbsp. agave nectar/maple syrup
1 cup gluten-free rice cereal (Like GF rice krispies or Rice chex cereal, crushed) or cereal of your choice

In a large bowl combine coconut oil and sun butter. Mix well.
Add in cocoa powder, agave and cereal and stir well until evenly combined.
Spread coconut oil on the sides of a glass or metal cooking sheet and spread fudge evenly.
Place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until fudge hardens.
Cut up into pieces and enjoy!
