Raw chocolate fudge

there is no particular recipe for this one

 we simply melt some raw cacao paste over hot water pan, add a little coconut oil, a nut paste, plenty of nuts and dried fruit + some seeds.  If enough fruit, there is no need to sweeten it , otherwise a spoonful of raw honey added to cooled mixture should do the job ( especially if you not heavy sugar user and would prefer this to be more on the paleo side.
Refridgerate
Cut
Enjoy!
