Healthy Almond Joy Candy Fudge
This Almond Joy Candy Fudge is healthy but doesn't taste healthy at all. It's just as soft, sweet and chewy as the original, but without the white sugar, hydrogenated oil, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. This fudge is refined sugar free, high fiber, high protein, and gluten free too!

- 45g (½ cup) Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
