6 Fall Fudge Recipes You’ll Melt Over

What diet in the world lets you eat a delicious treat like fudge? This one!

This intensely chocolate-flavored confection has long been a classic delicious treat in the U.S., where food historians say it was invented. Some say it was a candy recipe gone wrong—it was “fudged,” hence the name—but according to the Davenport Daily Tribune, origins of fudge can be pointed to college girls in the late 1800s having fudge parties in their dorms.

It makes you wonder if fudge may have been the origin of the famous “freshman 15,” those extra pounds new collegiates gain when they go off to college. But these freezer fudge recipes we’re sharing with you today won’t add an ounce. They have the same creamy texture— with even more trendy flavors like gingerbread, pumpkin, pecan pie and, of course, peanut butter chocolate!

Here are six fall fudge recipes you can indulge in without “fudging” your diet:

1. Basic Freezer Fudge >

If you can’t stop yourself from tinkering with a recipe, this is the place to start. This basic freezer fudge recipe has only three ingredients: peanut butter, chocolate chips (regular or NutriChocolate), and almond milk. Heated in a pot together, they create a creamy, delicious fudge. Try swapping out the chocolate chips to liven things up with some shredded coconut or honey. Scoop the mixture into an ice cube tray or onto a baking sheet you’ve sprayed with zero-calorie cooking spray and pop it in the freezer to harden.

With chocolate chips, one square counts as three Extras. With NutriChocolates, one square counts as one PowerFuel and one Extra.

You can almost taste this delicious treat, can’t you? Made with cashew butter and all the spices that make gingerbread cookies the iconic fall treat, this delectable, melt-in-your-mouth fudge has all the satisfying sweetness of gingerbread, but with only a touch of molasses and stevia sweetener.

At only 88 calories per serving, one serving counts as three Extras on Nutrisystem.

3. Pumpkin Spice Fudge >

7 Science-Backed Ways to Make Your New Year Habits Stick

A healthy lifestyle is built from healthy habits.

But building those habits takes time. You may have heard that a new habit takes 21 days to form, but it can take much longer. In a 2009 study , scientists found that new habits took an average of 66 days to take hold. For some participants, habits took up to 254 days—most of a year—to stick.
