A: Yes! Use DF chocolate chips, coconut evaporated milk, and plant-based butter.
Q: Are they gluten-free?
A: Yes—naturally! Just verify chocolate chip labels.

Final Thought
This fudge doesn’t arrive with fanfare.
It cools quietly in the pan—glossy, rich, flecked with nuts—until the first bite.
Then comes the melt. The chocolate sigh. The “Oh… this tastes like history, and home.”
That’s the power of food made with care:
It doesn’t just feed the body.
It feeds the memory. The gratitude. The legacy.
