I kicked my sugar cravings long ago but now and again I love a little chocolate and especially in the form of fudge!  Add raspberries and you’ve now got a dish that is worthy of a dinner party.  Dates a great alternative to sugar and have the right amount sweetness and gooey consistency.  They are a rich source of fiber, minerals and vitamins. This dessert tends to be messy unless you get the texture just right.  A simple – beautiful – solution is to fill mini mason jars with your fudge and top each with a raspberry and mint leaf.
