These simple, nourishing, decadent fudge bars were inspired by my favorite local chocolate company – Honey Mamas. It’s dense, chewy, crunchy and super chocolate-y. I make this pretty frequently after dinner if I’m out of chocolate and want a quick fix.

Prep Time 5 minutes 
in the freezer 15 minutes Ingredients
- 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 2 tbsp honey
- Pinch of kosher salt (about ⅛-¼ tsp)
- 2 tbsp chopped toasted almonds (or peanuts)
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium microwavable bowl, add the coconut oil. Microwave for about 30 seconds, or until melted.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, almond butter, honey, salt and nuts until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be thick!
- Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper (about 12”x6”), use your hands to form it into a square shape and place it on the bottom third of the parchment paper. Fold the parchment over the bar and press into a ½-¼ inch thick square. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (if using). Fold it up into a cute little package. Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to solidify. Remove and slice.
- Enjoy straight out of the freezer or let it sit out for 5-10 minutes for a chewier, less hard texture.
Items you can prep ahead (optional)
- Make ahead
Substitutions
- Use any nut or seed butter in place of the almond butter
- To make vegan: use maple syrup instead of honey
- Use any chopped toasted nut in place of almonds or skip the nuts all together
Storage
- Store in the freezer for up to 3 months (yeah right!)
Leftovers + repurposing
- You can eat these right out of the freezer, but I like them best after they’ve sat out for 10 minutes.
