I've been really missing my moms chewy, rich, homemade fudge. It was her grandmothers recipe + it left you feeling hung over + depressed because of the sugar rush. This recipe was an attempt to recreate the fudge satisfaction I so long for, without the downsides of having processed sugar + a crash. (bonus of being vegan, raw + gluten-free!)
