Raw Vegan Coconut Chocolate Fudge

I love raw cacao powder. What is cacao? Wait, did you say cocoa? Nope I said cacao!

Cacao is basically raw chocolate bean, without all the milk, sugar and other additives that make up processed chocolate.  Raw cacao is packed with antioxidants that destroy free radicals in your body.  These free radicals can accelerate the aging process and may even increase your risk for heart disease and certain cancers.  That basically means cacao has good stuff that fights the bad stuff.

I'm not giving you the green light to overindulge and eat this every day.  Remember: Everything in moderation.  Let's say it again: Everything in moderation. Ok, back to the cacao.  If you are a chocolate lover, here is a healthier way to eat it, without all the processed junk.

If you don't like coconut (like me) you can easily substitute pomegranates or a dried fruit if you'd like.
