Baking with essential oils
If you are choosing to add essential oils to your recipe be sure you are using oils labeled "safe for internal use." You will see this on the bottle. If your essential oil bottle is labeled "for topical use only" then it is most likely an essential oil not used internally or it is a fragrance oil and not a pure essential oil.
The essential oil industry is not regulated and synthetic fragrances with a drop of essential oil can be labeled as "essential oils." To be sure you are using pure essential oils it is best top stick to brands you have researched and trust they only use pure ingredients without synthetic fillers and additives. These are actually fragrance oils and not food safe.
This is why I choose doTERRA essential oils. Every drop is third party tested and pure essential oil without synthetic fragrances, fillers or additives. It's best to purchase directly from the company and not on resale sites such as Amazon. These sellers are unauthorized. Anyone can purchase a cap for 50 cents and add whatever they want inside the bottle and replace the cap. It's more likely you will get adulterated essential oils from resale sights such as Amazon.
Simple Fudge Variations
Using the recipe above, you may want to switch things up a little and try one of these variations.
Peppermint fudge
Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips and add a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Instead of sprinkling kosher salt on top sprinkle some crushed candy canes.
Wild Orange Fudge
Substitute a couple drops of wild orange essential oil for the vanilla for an orange-chocolate fudge.
Oreo Fudge
Substitute semi-sweet chips with white chocolate chips and add a cup of crushed sandwich cookies (like Oreo). Add the cookie pieces once the fudge is almost melted. Break up a few cookies into 1/4th and place them on top of the fudge for decoration.
I hope you found this recipe easy, simple and so delicious! Happy Holidays!
