Raw Fudge (it's the bomb)

Spanky and I made fudge today.  It's so easy and sooooooooo good.  

Here's the recipe I used:

1 cup coconut oil (softer is better)
1 cup finely chopped almonds (i put them in the food processor cuz my kids are picky about nuts)
3/4 cup agave nectar (I like a bit less cuz i don't like sweet things)
2 tsp organic vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup cacoa (raw chocolate powder) get at a health food store

Blend the ingredients together.
Spread out on a pan and put in the fridge/freezer. 

OOOH so good.  I'm thinking about mint extract for next time.  Doesn't that sound freakin awesome?  (Oh and I used a knife to cut the fudge that had peanut butter on it (don't judge me it was the only knife in site).  Anyways it tasted like chocolatey-peanut butter heaven.  Try it! Even though it's not all raw.

My husband commented on how creamy and smooth the fudge tastes.  He's not one to like all my crazy treats but this one was a home run.
