Almond butter is such a powerhouse because of its ability to conform to any flavor you combine it with! It adds such a thick richness to chocolate and when combined with coconut oil it sets BEAUTIFULLY in the freezer. The peppermint fudge slowly melts in your mouth, like actually melts like butter. I challenge you to have just one square. I’m so okay with eating multiple pieces of this stuff because I know exactly what’s in it and I have 0 guilt about it. Let me know if you love it!
