Chocolate-Avocado Fudge

My mom and I recently took a trip to Mystic, CT. Let me start by saying that it is an absolutely breathtaking town surrounded by water, farms, and quaint shops. Throughout our journey, we came across a lot of fudge, and we definitely had our fair share (it's fudge!) It was definitely worth it, but once we got back home we started to miss our beloved fudge. Unfortunately, it's not exactly the healthiest thing to keep around the house. This being the case, I brought vacation home to us with this chocolate-avocado fudge. It's sugar free, dairy free, and 100% guilt free!


                

You can change this recipe up however you like with any add-ins you prefer. Start by taking one whole skinned avocado and mash it in a bowl. Next, mix in your unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and cinnamon. Now, sprinkle in some salt, which goes great with chocolate. If you want to use chopped nuts or dried fruit, now's the time to mix it in!

                

Line a dish with tinfoil or parchment paper, and spread out your mixture evenly. Top with your add-ins and put in the freezer for about 1 hour until firm... All done? Take it out, sprinkle with some sea salt, and enjoy your guilt-free fudge!
