- maple sugar: this makes the fudge refined sugar free. light brown or granulated sugar also works well.
- maple syrup: use maple sugar or honey
- dutch process cocoa powder: this has a richer chocolate taste compared to unsweetened cocoa powder. try to use this if possible. if not, a good quality unsweetened cocoa powder works well.
- tahini: this is a main ingredient. if needed, it can be substitued with a natural nut butter (think only the nut as the main ingredient).
