This does a great job of satisfying that sweet tooth that hits in the
middle of the afternoon. Having some in the freezer comes in handy also
for a quick nutritious snack to go.
P. B. Carob Fudge
2-(2 ½) cups smooth peanut butter½ cup honey1cup coarsely chopped walnuts¾ cup finely ground oats1 cup roasted carob powder1/3 cup finely ground sesame seeds¼ cup hemp seedsGrease a 9”x9” baking dish with xv coconut oil, cut a piece of wax paper a little bigger than your dish, & set these aside. Mix together 2 cups of the peanut butter & the honey in a large bowl. Separately mix remaining ingredients together & pour over PB & honey. With your hands squish the ingredients together until well incorporated, adding more PB if needed to form a dense but moist dough. This will take a few minutes. Scrape it into the baking dish, cover with wax paper & press hard on top to consolidate fudge & even out the top. Cover & chill in frig over night. Cut into squares & enjoy. Keep refrigerated for up to a week, or freeze in individual squares.Options: Omit hemp seeds & replace with an equal amount of ground oats. Pecans in place of walnuts are good, & if you choose to omit the nuts all together, start with 1 ½ cups PB. Any nut butter you choose can be substituted for the peanut butter. And of course unsweetened cocoa powder can be substituted for the carob; initially reduce the cocoa powder to ¾ cup, adding in more to your taste.
