Raw Coconut & Macadamia Fudge Squares

If you’re looking for a healthy Christmas treat to eat when everyone else is indulging in chocolate and dessert, look no further than these gorgeous fudgy squares.
They are made, primarily, from macadamia nuts and coconut, which are both great sources of good fats. These fats are important to keep hormone levels balanced and will keep you in a good mood! This is quite handy for the, often stressful, festive season.
 
These squares are free from refined sugar, gluten and dairy and are still in their raw state, which makes them a pretty healthy treat. In my opinion, they are even nicer than the gluten and sugar laden treats that leave us feeling tired and bloated. They’re also so quick and easy!
