Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Uh, wow Katja, I just made " almond joys " this afternoon before I read your response, which is basically what you call fudge. I soak almonds for a couple days in the fridge (peeling them is so fun :-P), and add meat of half a coconut, a few dates and some carob. I have a small food processor I use to grind it all up. Voila, healthy candy! I will try it your way with the oil too. Do you refrigerate and cut? We make little bars out of the mixture. Peace, Deanna *** well, i'm totally novice, but i make this " fudge " that is coconut oil (softened), coconut, and finely ground almonds, and vanilla or cocoa. i just take my soaked and dried almonds and toss them around in a coffee grinder for a while, and presto! finely ground goodness. i'm sure there's a better way to do it, but i *have* a coffee grinder... -katja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 exactly! that's just what we do. and to be clear - it's not actually my fudge. i'm pretty sure ghislaine brought me the recipe.

(she'll correct me if i'm wrong!) *laughs* I'm correcting you now. You gave me the recipe so I'm not sure where it came from. The copy you gave me had nothing to identify it's origins, though it must have been online or though e- mail. I've actually been meaning to ask you something about it. You had made to two batches and I liked the one that ended up being thicker because it was in a deeper bowl. I'm wondering if that was the batch that had some raw butter in it along with the coconut oil. Those batches had chunks of almonds in them so I assumed that you hadn't ground any up finely either. heh, maybe I'm thinking of a different recipe entirely.

HEY!! i just remembered - it was michele's recipe, is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Here's the recipe I use for fudge at: http://home.woh.rr.com/billkrisjohnson/Recipes/Snacks.htm I vary it - sometime put in some peanut butter or a variety of chopped nuts, but the almonds are chopped fine. I have a little hand held processor that works very well - a Braun, I think.
