- 0.25 cups honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 cups mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3
Once the coconut oil has melted, whisk in the carob powder until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Roughly chop the mixed nuts and fold them into the carob mixture.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Step 8
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares or desired portions.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
