Sea Salt Fudge

Ok seriously - who doesn't like FUDGE !! This one made it on to my Christmas Cookie tray this year!! You know me, I am always looking for some sweet treats that are cleaned up so that I can enjoy them without all the extra junk that I really don't need. Well friends I can tell you that this one is a game changer.. I just may have to keep these on hand in my freezer at all times !! The sweet and salty combination are great when you get those cravings and just need a little something to satisfy the palette!!   This Slow Cooker Clean Eating Sea Salt Fudge is a great alternative. At least with this recipe, you are indulging without all the extra fat and calories!


 Use a high-quality dark chocolate for a special indulgence! Note: Be sure to shake the can of coconut milk for several seconds before opening to ensure the right consistency.


Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 c. dark chocolate chips, like Ghiaradelli
  • 1/4 c. coconut milk, canned (*I suggest adding just a little more coconut milk over the suggested 1/4 cup!)
  • 1/4 c. raw honey
  • dash of sea salt
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • crushed walnuts 

Directions:
  1. Generously grease a 2-quart slow cooker with coconut oil or you can use non-stick spray or a liner also, if you are not looking for a “Clean Eating” version of this recipe.
  2. Add chocolate, coconut milk, honey and a dash of sea salt to slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover and Crock on LOW 2 hours without stirring. DO NOT LIFT LID!
  3. Turn slow cooker off and remove lid. Add vanilla and walnuts if desired, stirring to combine. Cool in uncovered slow cooker, until fudge has reached room temp. (approx. 3-4 hours).
  4. After 4 hours, stir fudge for several minutes until the sheen that was on top is all gone. Pour the fudge into a greased 1-quart glass dish. 
  5. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Sprinkle fudge with sea salt and walnut (optional)crumbles prior to cutting into small pieces and serving.
