Raw peanut butter 'caramel' fudge

This recipe is so simple and is a great thing to have in the freezer when you're craving something sweet, especially around the holidays. Lucuma powder is a great source of fiber, has a ton of antioxidants, helps boost your immune system, and it adds a really nice maple-caramel taste to the fugue, which pairs nicely with the creamy peanut butter. Warning: very addictive.




Note: These measurements will vary from person to person, depending on the thickness of your peanut butter. Your batter should be smooth but not extremely thin, so feel free to mess around with the proportions!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter 
1/4 cup lucuma powder

Method: Simply combine all the ingredients into a bowl until smooth (see note). Pour into a dish (muffin tins work great!) and let it sit in the freezer for a few hours, then take it to cut into pieces. The fudge softens really quickly due to the coconut oil, so keep it in the freezer!
