Nut Butters and Fudge Sauce Recipes
Not that plain old peanut butter is boring, but it’s exciting to try other nut butters. Also super exciting: Adding chocolate to those new nut butters! Plus, it’s healthier to make your own nut butters by avoiding the store bought varieties that are loaded with added sugar, oils, and high fructose corn syrup.
- Refrigerator Dark Chocolate and Natural Hazelnut Butters
- Refrigerator Chocolate Almond Butter
- Refrigerator Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce
- Refrigerator 2-ingredient chocolate fudge sauce
Since chocolate sauce recipes are low acid and not safe for canning by today’s recommendations, here are a few recipes to freeze or store in the refrigerator.

Hey, chocolate desserts in jars can be healthy too! Or at least healthier than some desserts ;) Try making an avocado based mousse or pudding. Yeah, you heard me, whip that weird green thing into chocolate mousse. I was hesitant to try avocado mousse initially, but it’s worth trying for sure. You really can’t taste the avocado, it’s there to add a creamy texture and healthy fats to your dish. Sometimes I use a chocolate protein powder instead of cocoa powder too.
