Chewy Fudge or Vegan Frosting

(Note: This recipe is for the top layer of the above treat, aka the Frosting)

Chewy Fudge or Vegan Frosting-

1/2 cup coconut oil (warmed)
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (I used maple syrup when making this to use as frosting)
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp carob or cocoa powder
2 Tbsp almond butter (or other nut butter)

Whisk oil and honey. Slowly whisk in powder. Whisk in almond butter (or use a Vita Mix blender and blend everything until well combined- you will have to use your tamper, as it will be pretty thick).

If making fudge, pour into a loaf pan and freeze for 15 minutes. Then cut into squares and enjoy. :)

If making frosting, spread over your cupcakes or vegan cake (or make a pan full of these homemade bars to use as your "cake" like I just did!). Keep chilled until ready to eat. If you want the frosting to be softer, take out about an hour before serving.
