Notes: These are pretty much a fat source with some protein too so they are a great dessert with a lower fat meal or a little sweet tooth snack when needed for balanced blood sugar.

Flavor Swap: Use peanut butter instead of pecan for Reese’s fudge or almond butter and top with unsw coconut for an almond joy fudge.
