This three Ingredients "fudge" makes you feel pretty healthy and is super easy to whip up. You can change the colors for almost any occasion. 
Found the original recipe here

Coconut Fudge


Just 3 main ingredients
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Milk (or milk alternative) 
1/4 Cup Honey (or agave nectar)
2 cups Coconut Butter 
(optional: Food Coloring and Homemade Sprinkles)
Blend together then color












Directions:
Mix the Milk, Honey and Coconut Butter in a blender till smooth. I then separated the mix into two bowls to get the two tone look. I mixed in four drops of red food coloring into one of the bowls and mixed till it was all one color.

Then press the colored mixed into a foil lined, (trust me it makes it a lot easier to take out. I guess parchment could work too) 9x9 pan. I used a knife to spread the white mixture evenly on top. This is the time to add some sprinkles as well.

Refrigerate for about an hour or more, till it is set and firm to the touch. Lift out of pan and cut up.

Set in to Pan

Fact of the Week: January 22, 2015

Alpha Centauri, what is often considered the second closest star to Earth,  is not a star, but really a star system. Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Earth (after the Sun). The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system.
