Doesn’t making candies and goodies seem to go right in hand with the holidays? It always has for me. From the time I was a little girl in my mama’s kitchen through the early years with my own children, the holidays and making and baking have gone hand in hand.
Now you may be wondering:
What is a Trim Healthy Mama to do at the holidays that seem abundant with sugar laden desserts?
Answer:
Make a THM recipe that has no sugar!
The Salesman did not get to try this fudge because my friends and I enjoyed every bite. It was that good and it was easy, too. I am going to make it again this week in the chocolate version. So if you are ready to jump in and try something new, give this Peanutty Fudge recipe a whirl. The Mamas say it is “rich and fabulous, this fudge is perfect around the holidays or anytime when you are seeking sweet, peanutty indulgence. You can replace half of the peanut flour with cocoa if you desire a chocolate version.”
Peanutty Fudge
INGREDIENTS:
– 1/2 cup butter (or ghee-clarified butter; or coconut oil)
– 5 tsp THM Super Sweet Blend (or, use double amounts of THM Gentle Sweet)
– 3/4 cup THM Peanut Flour
– 3 oz cream cheese (1/3 less fat works well, too)
– 2 to 3 pinches mineral salt (an extra pinch if using coconut oil or ghee)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sweetener and allow it to dissolve.
2. Turn the heat to low and add all the other ingredients. Combine well.
3. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into a block. Score the block into squares, then place in the freezer to harden and store.
4. Cut off pieces of fudge whenever desired
I used butter, the Super Sweet Blend, Peanut Flour, and the 1/3 less fat cream cheese. and garnished with a few peanuts.
