Instructions

Notes
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Sweetener Options: Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter fudge, add more sweetener, but do so gradually.
- Texture: If you prefer a firmer fudge, increase the amount of coconut oil slightly. For a creamier texture, reduce the coconut oil or increase the shredded coconut.
- Nutritional Variations: For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of dark chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate, ensuring it remains low-carb by choosing sugar-free options.
- Customization: Add nuts, sea salt, or even a bit of cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile of your fudge.
