Every year on Christmas my grandma makes a whole bunch of fudge. There is peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge, chocolate fudge with nuts, and then rocky road fudge. By the end of the day, everyone is about in a fudge coma!
Since pretty much everyone loves fudge, I figured it would be perfect make a fudge that you won’t feel guilty about eating a whole plate 0f. I didn’t end up going with any of the flavors that my grandma usually makes. I opted for one of my favorite combos. Chocolate and coconut. I will eat just about anything that is chocolate coconut flavored.
The best part about this fudge is how healthy it is for you. When is the last time you had fudge with more fiber than sugar? That is all thanks to the base of the fudge using black beans. Yes, you heard correctly. Fudge made from black beans.
I was lucky enough to have Sweet-It send me some of their amazing sweeteners. They are high fiber and no sugar. I used the vita fiber syrup in this fudge to help boost the fiber. Each slice has a whopping 6 grams of fiber and only 4 grams of sugar.
I even managed to sneak some protein in each slice by putting a scoop of Musclepharm chocolate milk casein protein. Casein helped absorb the liquid and give a good fudge consistency.
