I have a serious love affair with Chocolate. I eat a little bit of chocolate every single day. My hubby calls it my “nightly chocolate snack”. I am not even a little bit ashamed of my chocolate snacks because they not only make me ridiculously happy, but keep my sweet tooth satisfied. I don’t need a lot. Most of the time it’s a square of a really high % dark chocolate (I like 90 or higher!).
I’ve always been a fan of avocado pudding. Again, it’s a brilliantly healthy little chocolate snack and helps to keep us away from that pesky added sugar. I’ve made this stuff millions of times. I love to keep it in my fridge and take little spoonfuls when I feel like my sweet tooth is acting up. Well, I was craving some of this chocolatey goodness, but was feeling creative. I had some rice paper wraps left over from when I made these bad boys: (don’t worry, they don’t go bad!)
After I baked them, the outside was beautifully firm, and the inside was gooey chocolate heaven. My favorite were the banana stuffed fudge wraps. They were warm and sweet with the perfect amount of crunch. After I took all of these photos, I decided to throw the remainder in the freezer and see what happened when they were frozen. Well friends, they became amazing frozen fudge treats! What I was most obsessed with was the texture. The frozen fudge was just dense enough to bite into, and the outer shell was pleasantly chewy. These are the perfect treat warm or cold, and are healthy to boot! If you have kids, I think they would be SUPER fun to make together! Let them put in their favorite fruits, and customize them to create personalized snacks (and they can totally lick the bowl… what kid doesn’t love licking the bowl?)
