Ah, another week in the bag! This week I'm craving chocolate, and LOTS of it. You too? Try out this recipe for my 5 minute dairy free fudge. So easy, so yummy, and SO full of chocolate. The mix-in options are endless, but almonds and raisins happen to be my personal favorite.
12 oz bag dairy free semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup coconut milk beverage (or your favorite dairy free milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼-1/2 cup chopped almonds (optional, depending on your taste)
¼-1/2 cup raisins (optional, depending on your taste)
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray. Add chocolate chips and coconut milk to microwave safe bowl. Mix, and microwave on high for one minute. Stir, then mix for another 30 seconds to one minute, until chocolate is melted. Stir in vanilla, almonds and raisins. Evenly spread in your loaf pan, and let cool in the refrigerator for about an hour. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Hi Cheryl! I use Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips, which I get at Stop & Shop, Wegmans, or a specialty store near home. They are also available online through Amazon. We use a variety of dairy free milks in my home, but our favorites are rice, almond, oat, and sunflower. My son prefers the flavor of sunflower and oat, and I drink unsweetened almond milk. The chocolate almond milks available now are delicious, but they can be high in sugar so I only enjoy those occasionally as a treat. Rice milk is my go-to for cooking things like macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. Hope this is helpful!

Cheryl, if you have a Trader Joe's near you, their semi-sweet chips are vegan (and therefore dairy-free), and usually around $3 or less per 12oz bag. Make sure to check the label on back and see the V for vegan label, as their semi-sweet CHUNKS are NOT dairy-free!

Hi! I'm allergic to chocolate and was wondering if you had any alternate flavors for this?

Hi Courtney! I don't have any alternative flavors for this yet, but I wonder if Carob would work for you?
