Anytime I see fudge I think of my late Grandma Nancy.  Every year, when the holidays came around, she would make a big batch of peanut butter fudge.  It was the most delicious, decadent dessert in the world.  As a kid, I would stuff as many chunks of the fudge in my mouth as I could.  Man, it was so good!

Grandma Nancy was the typical "southern belle."  She was beautiful, strong willed, social and the best cook!  I couldn't imagine enjoying a holiday without one of her amazing desserts.  

Since this year was the first Christmas we spent without her, I decided to make a batch of fudge in her honor.  I'm sure she would roll her eyes at my "healthier" version.  But, I'm not at the age where I can stuff my face with overly sugar filled desserts anymore. Sad, I know. This Freezer Maple Almond Fudge is the best way I know how to enjoy fudge and not feel guilty.  You have to try it!

HOW DO I MAKE FREEZER MAPLE ALMOND FUDGE?

In a food processor, combine 1 cup almond butter, ½ cup natural peanut butter, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoon vanilla, ½ cup melted coconut oil, and ½ teaspoon salt.  Mix well until you have a creamy consistency.  Next, you can either stir in the chopped almonds or put them on top once you pour the fudge mixture into your dish.

In a parchment paper lined dish, pour the fudge evenly then place in your freezer to set (approximately 1 hour).  After it has firmed up, cut the fudge into small cubes and store in an airtight container, either in refrigerator or back in freezer.

This creamy maple almond fudge that melts in your mouth is sure to become your new favorite treat. Sometimes the simplest ingredients yield the best results.  Enjoy!
