Unlike conventional fudge, this shockingly simple Vegan Gingerbread Fudge is made with a bunch of healthful ingredients that go down a treat. Perfect as gifts, to nibble on at home and even as a post-gym snack due to their higher protein content.
All those years of literally breaking an arm (not so much a leg) to mix sticky fudge goo for at least half an hour over a hot pan, those days are no more and what a relief that is! I no longer dread making fudge treats and the fact that each chunk is like a mouthful of Christmas just makes them that little more special.
So come make some of this shockingly simple vegan gingerbread fudge and start loading your stockings, gym bags and handbags with this versatile snack that’s great on the go and survives in the most challenging of conditions. The recipe is similar to my Vegan Protein Fudge but with an added feel of Christmas!
