Peanut Butter Fudge

     This one hits all the high notes.  I love Chunky Peanut Butter straight out of the jar, ...but combine it with Stevia Sweetened Chocolate Chips and you have a real winner of a mouth full on your hands.  This may be one of my favorite recipes to date, not just for its amazing taste, but for its simplicity as well.  Each of the 12 pieces are 113 calories, 11.6g carbs, 6g fiber, 3.2g sugar alcohol, 2.4g net carbs, 3.2g protein and 9g fat.  Perfect to give or to keep, but be sure to stop, then take a moment to enjoy all the melt in your mouth flavors striking a symphony of excitement!

1/2 cup Chunky Peanut Butter, sub with smooth if desired

1 cup Lily's Stevia Sweetened Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips~sub with Dark Chocolate for Vegan and Dairy Free

Sea Salt Flakes

     Stir together Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips in a microwave safe bowl, heat for 30 seconds, stir til smooth, repeat in 10 second increments if necessary, pour into a wax or parchment line 5X7 dish, chill in fridge for 10 minutes, remove, sprinkle with Sea Salt, cut into 12 equal pieces, return to fridge to set completely, store in fridge.  Enjoy  :)

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

     When you are wanting smooth, chocolate, healthy and delish all in one bite, maybe you should give Chocolate Avocado Pudding a try!  The entire recipe is only 227 calories, 25.5g carbs, 13g fiber, 8g sugar alcohol, 4.5g net carbs, 12.6g protein and 14.5g fat.  This goes down easy, and will put a nice smile in your tummy.  Super for a mid morning, mid afternoon or after dinner treat!  :)

Creamy Fudge

     Everyone loves Fudge, but also knows it's a highly empty calorie food...but we still love it anyway!  It's a dilemma...until now that is.  I have created a Creamy Fudge recipe that is soft, delicious, and sugar free.  Perfect to give at the Holidays, or just have around for a sweet treat to enjoy yourself.  Each of the 12 pieces are only 87 calories, 9.3g carbs, 5.8g fiber, 3.2g sugar alcohol, .3g net carbs, 1.2g protein and 7.8g fat.  Can you believe only .3 net carbs...it's a Christmas miracle.  And, I would opt for this fudge over all others any day of the week...make that year!!!  :)
