This freezer fudge is delicious. It is filled with healthy fat, rich in minerals such as magnesium, iron and zinc and free of refined sugar. It is rich and chocolately and sure to satisfy any chocolate craving. Though I'm posting this for Christmas, I eat this chocolate all year around ... and even have it for breakfast sometimes! Hope you enjoy.
