I've been craving fudge lately. Not chocolate cake, or chocolate brownies (often I find that someone will post a a recipe as fudge, when really its just a thick brownie). But the actual texture of fudge....

Any suggestions?

    If you find one, let me know!!

    I found one a while back for low carb fudge, but you needed that powdered peanut butter, and I could never find it. :(

  • 3 cups chocolate chips, according to preference (such as 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips plus 1 1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips)
    14 ounces fat-free sweetened condensed milk
    Dash salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or peppermint extract for Chocolate Mint Fudge)
    Optional Mix-ins to personalize your fudge, such as:
    For Rocky Road Fudge: 1 1/4 cups miniature marshmallows + 1 cup walnut pieces.
    For German Chocolate Cake Fudge: 1 cup flaked or shredded coconut + 1 cup pecan pieces.
    For Peppermint Stick Fudge: 1 cup crunched-up candy canes.
    For Peanut Butter Fudge: 1 cup of peanut butter M&Ms.

    Preparation:

    Line an 8 x 8-inch or 9 x 9-inch square baking dish with foil.
    Add chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and dash salt to an 8-cup microwave-safe glass measure and stir to blend. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave 1 minute more. Stir until chocolate chips are completely melted and a smooth mixture has formed.
    Stir in any mix-ins you’re using to personalize your fudge (including vanilla extract) and spoon into prepared baking dish. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Pull foil out of baking dish so you can easily cut fudge into about 49 squares (cut 7 columns vertically, then horizontally).

    Yield:

    49 squares

    Nutritional Information:

    Per 2 squares (not including mix-ins): 144 calories, 2 g protein, 22 g carbohydrate, 6 g fat, 3.5 g saturated fat, <5 mg cholesterol, 1.2 g fiber, 25 mg sodium. Calories from fat: 37%.
  • try the jello instant pudding packs if you must. There 160 calories each (including 2% milk) which is the same or lower then most of he weight watcher ice creams. These are the packs that you actually make yourself.

    I found the powdered peanut butter online and ordered it. I got PB2 from Bell Plantation. Ordered through lowcarbcanada.ca (because i live in Vancouver), but I'm sure you could find it online somewhere.
