Chocolate. Fudge. Need I say more?!
These beauties taste rich, decadent, chocolatey, fudgey and make the perfect quick treat for when only chocolate will do. Made with only a few key ingredients, you might just have all you need to whip them up already in your kitchen cupboard!
I love that these treats are sweetened naturally with fibre-rich dates and contain oodles of antioxidants, thanks to the raw cacao powder. Almond butter and virgin coconut oil add flavour and healthy fat, while roasted hazelnuts help them taste pretty similar to Nutella. I promise!
I rolled them in a cacao powder and desiccated coconut for a bit of variety, but you could also try chia seeds, sesame seeds, cacao nibs, dried fruit or more chopped hazelnuts for different tastes and textures š
