This is too good to be healthy!  But it is!  It makes it so easy to get your daily dose of coconut oil.  I've been reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig.  And this recipe is definitely NT even if it's not found in the book!  I love cooking healthy- soaking my grains, making sourdough, experimenting with fermented foods.  I made some delicious honey-kefir cheese this morning for toast.  Sooo good on sourdough!  Anyway, that is what I have been up to lately- reading nutrition books!  I just started Sweet Deception by Dr. Mercola.  Now, my daughter is reading it, too!  And faster than I am, I might add!  We are using these books as part of our health curriculum.  They are really opening our eyes to good nutrition!  Sooooo!  Without further ado,  the FUDGE RECIPE!

 Mix 1 cup coconut oil with 1 cup cocoa or carob powder.  Heat gently in a double boiler or in a metal bowl over a simmering pan of water.  Add 1/2 cup raw honey or agave (Mercola does not recommend agave but Jordan Rubin of The Maker's Diet does, so make your own decision) (I can no longer in good conscience suggest using agave!  Sorry!) or stevia to taste. I added a little extra honey- about 2 T more.  Stir until smooth.  Add 1 capful vanilla.  Pour into 8x8 in. pan.  Freeze for 10-15 minutes.  Then, place in refrigerator.  OR before pouring in the pan, add coconut, nuts, chopped dates, etc to your liking.  Then, proceed with recipe.  And don't eat it all at once!!!!!!!!
