Positively Perfect Paleo (Fudge)

A healthy version of a Peanut Butter Cup!

I am having some friends over this coming Saturday, and the whole group of us are riddled with food aversions, intolerances and allergies. It's been quite the struggle to come up with something fun and healthy to serve. My friend Jenn brilliantly had an idea to make a type of Paleo fudge so she sent me the recipe. I went out yesterday, bought the ingredients that I didn't already have in my cupboard and made a test run. HOLY SMOKES, it came out perfectly. BETTER than I had hoped. It's the perfect little morsel of sweetness, very reminiscent of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I made mine with dark cocoa and for texture I added a few table spoons of crushed peanuts. These have definitely made their way into my families roster of favorites. It's virtually guilt free, and so handy to have stored in the freezer for last minute company. They are slightly messy for my two year old. Simon likes to hold treats in his hands and savor them... this fudge melts quickly creating a massive mess. My suggestion for them, is to make them in mini muffin tins, and once frozen pop them into a large Ziploc and keep them in the freezer. I plan on serving them straight from the freezer with a cappuccino on the side.
