Ingredients:

 2 ½ cups raw walnuts 

⅓ cup coconut oil

¼ cup cacao 

¼ cup coconut nectar (honey, maple syrup)

2 tsp ashwagandha tincture 

Pinch salt

Directions: Melt the coconut oil. Put the raw walnuts in a food processor and mix until a smooth butter forms. Be careful not to overprocess as walnuts get very oily when overprocessed. Put the rest of the ingredients in with the walnut butter and pulse until well combined.  Spread the mixture into a  4 by 4 flat storage container. Fudge will be about ½ inch thick. Put in the freezer to harden. Fudge will be ready when the mixture is solid.  Cut into squares and enjoy.  Store in the freezer as desserts made with coconut oil melt easily.
