Maple Cashew Fudge Chews – these kinda happened by accident…and man am I happy about it!

Chewy, delicious, sweet, and caramel-y

I was in a rush and mixed together these ingredients to make some energy balls, but the batter was SO sticky. It just wasn’t the usual, so I couldn’t really roll them into balls. BUT, it was perfect to freeze into these fudge chews! These are absolutely incredible, I’ve already been snacking on them nonstop – and they are very much husband approved, too! Made with healthy ingredients like cashews, rolled oats, and hemp seeds -fiber, complex carbs, healthy fats, and plant based protein!

These definitely get soft quickly once taken out of the freezer, so I won’t be taking these to work, but they are perfect as an after dinner treat! They kinda remind me of caramel chews, but a little bit more like fudge with an almost icecream-like texture as they start to melt in your mouth. Absolutely delicious! These are also the perfect summer treat since they’re nice and cool…aka anything that is cold is necessary in this SC heat.

Fudge you can feel good about!
