The secret to this addictive fudge is the addition of coconut oil and sea salt. Please, don’t be tempted to omit these very important ingredients. The coconut oil is what makes this fudge hold together, and gives it a firm, yet creamy, texture, while the salt adds a pop of flavor that perfectly balances out the sweetness of the honey. What I also love about this freezer fudge is that it comes together in just minutes....

What to Know About Buckwheat Flour Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. It’s a gluten-free seed and is one of my favorite gluten-free flour options because it doesn’t need other binders, like cornstarch or arrowroot. Buckwheat flour comes in two different varieties: light and dark. The dark flour (sometimes it even looks a little gray or blue) is ground with the hull, so it tastes more bitter. The light flour is made with hulled buckwheat, also called buckwheat groats, so it has a mild flavor that is more similar to white flour....
