Ingredients:

5 oz. Nutiva Coconut Manna
3 oz. Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
12 oz. 62% Cacao Chocolate Baking Chunks (I used “private selection” brand)
6 oz. Nutiva Organic Hulled Hemp Seeds (divided)
1 1/2 cup Toasted Almond Slivers
1 c Dried Cherries (chopped)
1/8 t Pure Almond Extract

Pinch of Smoked Sea Salt or a coarse ground Kosher Salt
Parchment Paper

Directions:

1. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Toast almonds in a single layer in the parchment-lined baking pan for 10 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. Transfer toasted almonds to a separate bowl to cool.

3. Sprinkle smoked sea salt or kosher salt evenly on the parchment in the baking pan.

4. Layer half of the Nutiva Organic Hulled Hemp Seed on top of salt (be sure to spread evenly so all edges and corners are covered with hemp seeds).

5. Next, layer toasted almond slivers evenly on top of the hemp seeds.

6. Finish with an even layer of chopped dried cherries.

7. Combine Cacao chocolate chunks with the Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil, and Nutiva Organic Coconut manna in a glass bowl.

8. Microwave the Coconut oil, Coconut Manna and chocolate chunks for 60 seconds, then stir for 2-5 minutes to help facilitate even melting. continue heating in 30 second intervals, stirring 2-5 mins between microwaving until the chocolate mixture is smooth and creamy. Then add the pure almond extract and stir for another minute.

9. Gently pour coconut chocolate mixture over the Nutiva Organic Hulled Hemp Seeds, almonds, and dried cherries that are leyered in the parchment -lined pan.

10. Sprinkle the other half of the Nutiva Organic Hulled Hemp Seeds on top of the melted chocolate mixture and gently press into the warm chocolate.

11. Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours. Then remove the pan from the fridge and lift the superfood guilt-free fudge from baking pan, parchment and all. Then, using a large knife, cut the fudge into 1” strips lengthwise and then cut strips into 1” chunks crosswise. This fudge is best enjoyed by eating each piece in one bite!

12. Store leftover superfood guilt-free fudge in the refrigerator but be sure to allow this creamy nutty confection to come to room temperature (68-70 degrees) before serving.

Looking for a Way to Eat Right Without Giving Up Flavor?

Many people are becoming more aware of the importance of eating well and leading a healthy lifestyle, but aren't sure exactly how to incorporate this into their own routine. Contrary to popular belief, eating well doesn't have to mean a drastic overhaul of how you cook.

It also doesn't mean that you have to compromise on taste or texture.

With just a few simple additions to your cooking methods and daily diet, you can start eating more healthily while enjoying every last bite. Nutiva is proud to offer an extensive range of healthy, delicious hemp foods and virgin coconut oil products that make it easier than ever to start eating right.

Try Unrefined Coconut Oil for Better Taste and Better Health

For example, Nutiva's extra-virgin coconut oil is not only good for you, but it's an excellent addition to any kitchen. Our virgin coconut oil is unrefined, unbleached and unfermented, giving it a light taste, pleasant aroma and pure white color. Our coconut oil is also unhydrogenated, eliminating the unhealthy fats found in hydrogenated oils. For centuries, people have cherished coconut oil for its beautiful flavor, and it has widely been used in cooking throughout the world.

Looking for Coconut Butter or Coconut Cream?

Coconut Manna™ is creamy whole coconut that will delight people looking for coconut butter, coconut cream, coconut oil butter and coconut body butter. Coconut Manna™ is a delicious whole food, made of pure, dried coconut flesh which will “melt in your mouth.”

Why Choose Nutiva's Unrefined Coconut Oil?

What makes Nutiva's virgin coconut oil so special? Much of the magic lies in the way the oil is processed. Within several hours of the coconuts being chopped, the meat is cold-pressed, unlike other varieties of coconut oil which can be left for more than 10 hours before pressing. Nutiva's approach preserves as much of the oil's natural color, flavor and aroma, giving you the best results for any use.

Why Virgin Coconut Oil is Good for You

Unrefined coconut oil doesn't just taste better, it's better for you. With around 50% lauric acid content (an acid also found in mother's milk), it helps support a healthy metabolism and is being researched for its ability to protect against fungus, bacteria and viruses. The benefits of coconut oil's lauric acid are so strong, it is often added to baby formula to help infants develop strong and healthy systems.

Consider also the fact that Pacific Islanders long used coconut as a staple of their diets. Those who still subscribe to a coconut-rich diet display low incidences of heart disease or obesity. Those who switch to more "Western" ingredients, such as Omega-6 laden vegetable oils, often show a remarkable increase in these illnesses and other health problems.

Experience the Versatility of Virgin Coconut Oil

Of course, coconut oil can be used in other ways as well. Coconut oil is often used in skin creams and lotions for its ability to moisturize and nourish the skin. Whether you want a healthy replacement for vegetable and animal fat for your cooking, or are simply looking for better options in your daily skin care regime, choose Nutiva's unrefined virgin coconut oil.

With its healthy properties, excellent taste and beautiful aroma, unrefined coconut oil from Nutiva is the perfect solution.
