Homemade Mint Chocolate Fudge

gluten free paleo chocolate fudge recipe

The blog recently has been somewhat busy with things inspired by or created by my mom, and this chocolate fudge recipe is no different.  In that spirit, I’ve adapted one of her favorite holiday sweets to suit our preferences: 100% dark chocolate, no added sugars, and no dairy (sweetened condensed milk).

This is a fairly easy recipe that requires a good amount of patience and “hurry up and wait” skills.  We condensed coconut milk in place of condensed milk, and while it wasn’t very difficult, it certainly took some time.  Trust us, it’s worth the wait.

Grilled Portabello Mushroom Caps

Mushrooms.  These fungi were something that I strongly avoided for most of my formative years–my father is not a fan, and I ipso facto also was determined to dislike them.  Eventually, I was tricked out of this delusion, and I’m a better person for it.  I would challenge each of you to go eat something you are certain you dislike because you’ve “always hated it” and be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.  Thanks to this initiative, I now enjoy: asparagus, brussels sprouts, beets, lobster, and mushrooms.
