Shakeology FUDGE!!! OMG IT IS SO EFFING GOOD!!!!
Ahem. Let me get it together here. :)

16 servings

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup Shakeology Chocolate

1-2 TBS cocoa powder

2 TBS raw, organic honey

1 tsp high quality vanilla extract

1/2 cup raw, organic coconut butter (also known as coconut oil)

INSTRUCTIONS
1.Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl, except for coconut butter.
2.Add softened coconut butter and mix well with a spatula.†
3.Line a 8×6 pan with wax paper and pour fudge into the pan.
4.Refrigerate about 30 minutes, or until firm. Store in the refrigerator.

†Coconut butter melts into coconut oil when stored above 76ºF. You will want this so that you can easily mix it, so if your coconut butter is hard, place it in an ovenproof container and put it in the oven at the lowest temperature you oven will set to, and it will melt pretty quickly.
