Don’t we all deserve a little treat from time to time? Especially when we can feel good indulging in a bite or two? That’s right Beauties, give yourself some beauty points when you make my Cacao Fudge recipe. It’s loaded with goodies that will make you feel sexier, smarter and just a tad bit sweeter too!

Cacao’s Sweet Secrets

Do you know what delicious treat contains many rejuvenating and anti-aging elements such as magnesium and antioxidants? If you guessed Cacao you nailed it. It is also a well-known natural aphrodisiac! Oh joy! Cacao contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which stimulates feel-good hormones in your body.

Yet another reason to feel joyful indulging in a bite or two of my Cacao Fudge recipe. :)

Walnut’s Little Gifts

Now you are going to get more than a little beauty boost when you make this recipe. You will also receive a dose of brain-boosting goodness thanks to one of my favorite nuts, walnuts. These gems have more omega-3 fatty acids than any other nut. And in those fatty acids host a high concentration of DHA. Our brains love DHA as it is known to improve our cognitive performance and protect us from age-related cognitive decline.

Can we take a moment and thank walnuts for the powerful little gift that they are?! Thank you walnuts!

Sweet Sweet Nectar

To sweeten this Cacao Fudge recipe up just a bit, I opted to use my favorite liquid sweetener, coconut nectar. This is by far my favorite go-to sweetener since it is loaded with rich minerals and amino acids. Now that’s not to say it’s okay to have a lot of it. As in any sugar, we know they are best used in moderation. Lucky for us though, coconut nectar is low in fructose, providing little impact on our blood sugar levels.

Now that I’ve shared with you all the good reasons to feel joyful eating this Cacao Fudge, are you ready to make a few batches to gift this holiday? I hope so :) With such a simple recipe I hope you feel the desire to share it with your friends and family too! Go ahead and pin it to Pinterest, and tag me in your creations on Instagram.

Lots of love to you Beauty!
