Sink into these deliciously fragrant fudge squares to rid you of winter blues. Pure plant-powered indulgence—vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free, crafted to uplift your spirit, soothe your soul, and melt your troubles away.

INGREDIENTS

• 250 (2 cups) Medjool dates, pitted
• 140g (½ cup) almond butter
• 300g Dark Chocolate Drops
• 1 Tbsp orange zest
• 2 Loco Love Orange & Almond Truffle bars
• Handful of Crystallised Ginger

METHOD

1. Add pitted dates to a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well.
2. Line a 20cm square tin (or similar) and set aside.
   
3. Blend dates with almond butter until a smooth paste forms. If you don't have a food processor/blender, you can use a bowl and a  spoon- just make sure its very uniform. Add the orange zest and stir though. Transfer the mixture to a bowl if using a food processor (use a rubber spatula to get all the mixture out!).
   
4. Add melted chocolate and fold through until even, but try not to over mix it here. Transfer the mixture to your lined tray, and use a spoon to spread out.
5. Top with more orange zest, chopped Loco Love Truffle bars and crystallised ginger, pressing the chunks into the fudge.
   
6. Set in the fridge for 4+ hours, then cut into small squares and store in a airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
