January’s retreat is FULL!!! And just 3 spots left for February’s. Give up the cold for a little while and come sun it and fun it with me! Be sure to check the deets on the vitamix incentive.
As I may have mentioned before, I taught 19 classes in a little over two months. Some of those classes get repeated and you know what? I don’t really like doing the same things twice. The recipe below was from a sweet treat recipe I often use in my Veggie Transition Workshop.
I am on holidays so here’s all you need to know: It has walnuts. It has dates. It has coconut oil. It has raisins. It has ground sesame seeds. And it has chocolate. Fool proof and amazingly delicious.
Enjoy!
Walnut Fudge
1 cup walnuts
1⁄2 cup sesame seeds, ground or 1/2 cup tahini
11⁄2 cups pitted dates
11⁄2 cups raisins
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup cocoa or raw cacao
1/8 tsp salt
- Pulse all ingredients in food processor until mixture holds together when pressed.
- Press mixture into 9 inch square pan, and chill.
- Cut into squares to serve.

Ohhhh, yesssssss. That’s beautiful. It looks like it would be a delectable, chocolatey, rich slap in the face (unlike the kick in the stomach that eating peoples’ holiday chocolates are…I’m still in pain from a Turtle!)…
Thanks for making this an easy one Meghan.
) In this weather we have even less energy but need these sweet treats even MORE!
Have a tantalizing day,

I don’t ever want to come home to winter
Maybe I can hope from Jamaica to St. Lucia and skip the winter bit in between.
Well…if we absolutely MUST keep it clean …
home made raw chocolate covered almonds sprinkled with coconut. So good!
Hope you’re having a great vacation
Yes- that would be!
Just discovered a super quick, super easy treat. Slice open a large Medjool date, remove the pit, add a walnut half. Tastes a lot like a date square. Yummy.
That looks very decadent!!! The most recent creative thing I’ve done with nuts recently is this pistachio and pumpkin crunch http://tinyurl.com/26sl8ke
Please soak up some of that sun for me…it’s -7C here right now and I’m NOT enjoying it at all!!!!
that looks delish!
i make vegan fudge and also raw vegan brownies…the recipes resemble each other. But this recipe of yours reminds me of my raw vegan brownies. I dont use coconut oil and use added agave
b/c I like them sweeter than just dates alone…but gosh, these look great!
You are a supergirl! And hells-yes, I would so eat that fudge!!! I love that there are still some crunchy little whole sesame seeds in there.
YUM those look divine i cannot wait to try them! I have made raw brownies but these look even mored decadent
