Superfood and fudge don’t normal frequent the same sentence, but of course, The Happy Pear guys show us how it’s done.
You should be able to get all of these ingredients in the supermarket, with the exception of the date syrup, which is trickier to find, but can be picked up at any health food store. Failing that, use golden syrup.
These ingredients are not any more expensive than forking out for traditional baking things like flour, butter and sugar plus they’re a million times more healthy.
Making these with the kids will re-inforce healthy treat making, and the message that you don’t need refined sugar to make something a treat.
