Notes
** some almond butter brands have too much oil added and can interfere in setting the fudge. For palm oil free bars, choose almond butter without palm oil.
Use other flavors as vanilla or cardamom for variation.
To make just nut butter fudge: Use 1 cup nut butter and mix into the melted coconut butter. Pour onto parchment to chill.
You can use virgin coconut oil or refined for neutral flavor instead of coconut butter. Use about a 1/3 cup coconut oil and 1 cup nut butter to make up the volume.
