ALMOND BUTTER
--------------------------
It's all in the name.....why do I say this?? Well whenever I hear about a name of the recipe or a product sold in the market, the first thought in my mind is that it's not possible for us to make it at home and that why they are sold in the market. Well that's not true always. It could be the most simplest thing that you can make it at home, or with a little bit effort with great results, with lots of flavor and freshness. This same applies to this name "Almond Butter" as well. When I heard this name, I was like OMG! and when I first saw the price, I didn't feel like buying from the store. So as always took the help of google and was shocked to see that it was so simple to do and can be used in so many recipes and a best alternative for flour to make it more healthier and rich.
Note:
* You can always add more according to the quantity you need, else you can very well store it in fridge.
* I am not sure how long it can be stored in the fridge, as never got a chance to keep it more than a week. :)
Method:

Note:
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add the almonds, make sure you don't over crowd the sheet.
3. Bake/toast it for about about 7-8 mins or until golden brown.

4. Allow it to cool for 1-2 mins. But make sure it's still hot enough so that the steam will help it to become paste than powder.
BANANA ALMOND FUDGE
Method:
1. Mix all these ingredients in a bowl, if it is too hard to mix, then microwave it for few secs and blend well.
Note:
* You can use coconut butter as well, but I didn't, so the fudge was not as hard as the banana almond fudge. It was soft and kinda melt in the mouth because of the chocolate. For best result you can pop the fudge into freezer for an hour to make it hard.

1. In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips and butter or coconut butter, and melt it for the first 30 secs, mix, again microwave for more 20-30 secs.
2. The time depends on the type of microwave you are using. So watch while you melt, else the chocolate will burn.
