Ingredient Information for Healthy Fudge

Video Transcript

Okay, while we have our fudge congealing in the frig right now I just want to talk to you about the ingredients a little bit. I didn't really talk about them as in depth as I wanted to earlier. These may or may not be things that you've bought before. Some of them you may not have even heard of before like coconut oil. That's not something that, in fact I'm not even sure you can find it just in the run of the mill grocery store. I find it at my health food store, or maybe like a Whole Foods or a Wild Oates. Something like that that has a lot of organic products. They're very familiar with this. It's very easy to find in one of those grocery stores. But you may or may not be able to find it in just the standard typical grocery store. So just to point that out to let you know, you would need to get that from a different grocery store than maybe just the one on the corner, from your typical grocery store. But it is well worth it. Even for cooking other things as well. There's not really something you can substitute for the coconut oil. You don't want to use a vegetable oil in this, not in fudge, not olive oil. There's really not a substitute in this particular dish for the coconut oil. You know again if you're cooking something else, if you're sauteeing some chicken on the stove. I love using coconut oil. But if you don't have it you can use olive oil. That's, olive oil is very healthy. That's a great thing to use. But in this case you need the coconut oil. And also the almond butter, you may or may not have bought almond butter before. Actually I believe regular grocery stores, just the major food chain grocery stores are carrying almond butter these days. It's a great thing. It's becoming much more run of the mill so you've probably actually seen it before next to your peanut butter. They even make cashew butter as well. You know it's just like peanut butter. They make it the same way it's just they use a different nut in each of these cases. And you can kind of get the idea. Peanuts are probably the least healthy, almonds are probably the most healthy, cashews maybe somewhere in between. They are a fatty nut. So if you want to switch it up use a cashew butter or if you have peanut butter in your pantry, use that. You don't want to go, you know, don't want to go shopping right now. You can use peanut butter in that too. It would give it a slightly different flavor obviously, more of a peanut taste instead of almonds. But you can substitute that if you need to. Honey, don't use sugar. I would use honey, just honey's really easy to find. I wouldn't use something else. Just go for the honey. You can use raw honey as well. You can find that again in more of a health food grocery store. It even has the honeycomb still on top. But just regular honey works just fine. I would not use sugar in this at all. I don't think it would work well in the recipe. And plus this is such a healthy recipe, we want to keep it that way. So these things aren't terribly hard to find, just have to maybe seek them out a little bit more. But they're well worth it.
