Healthy Chocolate Fudge (vegan)
Mmmm, its time for some chocolate love
Well it is Valentine’s Day after all!
you only need small pieces as its so rich
It’s been super hot here in Sydney
So I’ve been playing around with some snack recipes you don’t need to cook
And came up with this beauty….
a tower of healthy chocolate fudge…with black beans??? Huh???
A most delicious, healthy chocolate fudge that has black beans in it!
Plus its really quick and easy to make
In fact it’s super-fast to make if you have a high speed blender
I used my thermomix and it took less than 2 minutes
if I had all the time in the world, and could be bothered, I would have cut them into heart shapes – but we all know that really would have just been an excuse to eat the trimmings!!! 🙂
This post may have come too late to make some for Valentine’s Day
But the weekend is upon us
So I hope you give these a go
quick, easy, deeelicious….gotta try this one
And let me know what you think
i.e. just how delicious they are!
