Oatmeal and coconut do the heavy lifting in this delicious and super easy to make treat.
Old-fashioned oats contain soluble fiber and starch granules that, without the sustained heat and water of a full boil, stay mostly intact. That’s what gives this fudge a chew you won’t get from any standard fudge recipe.
