When I’m not baking or taking food photography I like to run and lift weights to burn of all the calories. To support my body I use supplements from Badathletics to help me recover from a challenging workout. When I ordered their new flavor white chocolate peppermint I got a recipe idea that would be perfect for Valentines Day. I started to experiment and I have to say this recipe did not disappoint!
This recipe is good with or without the added protein. You can always use a peppermint extract instead. Extract will give you a stronger peppermint flavor, but I prefer the more subtleness of the protein. The hint of peppermint is perfect combined with the freeze dried strawberries, which give a nice color, crunch and flavor boost to the fudge.
It is super easy to make and fun to play with shapes cutting it out. Whatever you choose, they are delicious!
