Avocado Fudge Chocolates Recipe

I picked avocado as my ingredient of the month this month because it never fails to amaze me how creative people can get with it. And more to the point, how many things you can do with it that you can’t even taste it in, and this avocado fudge chocolates recipe is no exception.  

These chocolates are deliciously smooth with the avocado making this recipe creamy and fudgy rather than a firm chocolate.  

When it came to serving this up, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make these as a square, like a small snack, or a tiny bite sized chocolate, so I ended up slicing up my dish half and half. For the smaller pieces, you should get at least 60 bites, or up to 30 squares.  

Ingredient Choices & Substitutions  

You can customise this recipe to add any flavours that you want, today I’ve opted for orange and pecan, but you can make this without nuts and add fruit, or switch the extract/ flavourings you’re using to suit your palette.  

If you want to switch out the vegan margarine, you can swap it for coconut oil, but don’t swap it for any other vegetable oil. It needs to be something that’s able to set to a solid form.  

Nutritional Information  

The following information is for the square pieces, if you’re opting for bite sized pieces, simply halve it! 

As these pieces are so small, there isn’t an individual vitamin or mineral worth talking about here, but each square of these avocado fudge chocolates contains 83 calories, 1.5g of dietary fibre and 1g of protein.

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the vegan margarine over low heat.
