Easiest Fudge in the World
This fudge is so easy, so foolproof, that even if you have never made candy before, I guarantee great results! How can you pass that up? Chocolate and vegan “butter” combine with a product new to us: Nature’s Charm Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
This condensed milk is naturally dairy free and can be used in any recipe calling for traditional sweetened condensed milk. It is also lactose free, gluten-free, vegan and trans-fat free. Look for it online and at your local specialty grocer.
We couldn’t wait to try it and we loved the way it performed in this fudge recipe, which, by the way is sturdy enough to mail, keeps well and is a perfect candy recipe to make with kids.
- 1½ cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1½ cups lightly toasted macadamias, chopped2 pounds bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons vegan "butter" or margarine, cut into pieces, such as Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks
