Slow Cooker Fudge
Ingredients
•2-1/2 cups Chocolate Chips, [Dark chocolate is best for health benefits. Ghirardelli is a good brand and works well with this recipe)
•1/4 cup coconut milk, canned
•1/4 cup raw mild honey
•Dash of sea salt
•1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Fudge is perfect for the slow cooker because it doesn't scorch or burn.
Add chocolate chips, coconut milk, honey and salt, stir to combine. Cover and cook on low 2 hours without stirring. It's important that lid remain on during this 2 hours.
After 2 hours, turn the slow cooker off, uncover, add vanilla and stir ingredients to combine. Allow to cool in uncovered , until fudge has reached room temperature, three to four hours. Using a large spoon, stir vigorously for 5-10 minutes until it loses some the gloss.
Lightly spray a 1 quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour fudge into dish, cover and refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Cut into 30 pieces.
Note: Canned coconut milk can be found in the Asian or organic sections of most grocery stores.
For variety, add chopped walnuts or pistachios.
