If you follow me on Facebook, then you may know I had a bit of a cancer scare this past week. It put things in prospective, and I have made a decision to eat more healthy. But, I have a BIG sweet tooth, so giving up all things Cotton Candy, is hard.
So I grabbed my $10 Coupon to Vitacost, and was on a mission to save money, and come up with some things that were both healthy, and sweet. If you haven’t checked out last weeks recipe for Energy Bites, they are AWESOME!
So, I wanted fudge…. BAD! So I decided to make a Healthy Fudge! And it turned out some yummy! I had a side of “Banana” Ice Cream (Info on that is in the video below) with it, and my sweet tooth was satisfied… for now…lol
