Clean Hot Chocolate and Guilt Free Fudge!

Stay trim this Festive Season!

It's started!!  There's gorgeous, delicious food and dreamy, creamy drinks everywhere!  You can smell them in the air.  Ooh they smell so good but are laden with about a trillion calories and we don't want to ruin all the hard work we've put in all year in just a few weeks, right?!

So I searched for a hot chocolate recipe that was clean but also tasted delicious, I never want to skimp on flavour, who does?!  

It's so quick and easy, you can make it in less than 5 mins then curl up on the sofa and enjoy!

Clean Hot Chocolate

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbsp stevia or honey

Cinnamon stick

Warm up almond milk and cinnamon stick in a saucepan, bring to a gentle simmer.  Add the cocoa powder slowly stirring until completely dissolved.

Pour into a mug, (optional) sprinkle a little cocoa and cinnamon and garnish with the cinnamon stick!

Clean Hot Chocolate!

And of course you need a little sweet treat to go with your hot chocolate!  How about some slow cooker/crock pot chocolate fudge (guilt free!)

I was so excited when I discovered this recipe because, 1.  I loooovvvveee fudge and 2. I'm all about the slow cooker/crock pot.  It's one of the best things ever!  Throw everything in and just leave it to cook, I'm sold!!

Here it is......

Guilt Free Slow Cooker Chocolate Fudge

440 grams or 2 1/2 cups of good quality dark choc drops

125 ml or 1/2 cup canned coconut milk

4 tbsp or 1/4 cup honey

Pinch of sea salt

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Add chocolate chips, coconut milk, honey, salt and coconut oil to the slow cooker.  Stir until the ingredients are combined.

Cover and cook on low for 2 hours WITHOUT stirring.

After 2 hours, allow to cool to room temp. then stir vigorously for 5 mins until the mixture loses some of it's shine.   (You can use an electric beater)

Lightly oil an 8" x 8" square pan and pour the mixture in.  Cover and refrigerate for around 4 hours. Cut into bite size pieces.  Keep the fudge stored in the fridge until you want to eat. (If you can make it last!)

Even though the fudge is clean, doesn't mean you would want to eat a lot in one go, it is very rich!!
