Fudge. Easy, decadent, satisfying, raw? You bet. Traditional fudge is made from lots of sugar (the recipe I had called for 2 and 1/2 cups!), butter, evaporated milk, and usually semi sweet chocolate, which is loaded with more sugar and fat.

One of my favorite things to do when experimenting with new raw food recipes is to make my “former” favorite foods in a raw version. I love crepes. My daughters and I enjoyed many Sunday mornings with a plate of crepes. But the old version with eggs, flour, sugar, etc. leave me feeling tired and [...]
