Fudge Baby-making, that is.
It all began with some walnuts, dates, a little cocoa powder…
Above, the originals: Hot Chocolate Babies

What exactly is a fudge baby?
Fudge babies are raw chocolate truffles that taste super-decadent yet are actually healthy. It’s hard to believe something so good for you—high in fiber, with zero added sugars and unnatural ingredients—can taste so sinful.
They’re also easy to make and are less expensive than Jocalats, Larabars, and many other such chocolate bars.
Fudge Baby Mania!
For a list of all the flavors, see: Fudge Baby Flavors
At first, the original chocolate fudgies enjoyed a quiet nursery all to themselves. But it wasn’t long before many screaming brothers and sisters started popping out. Nowadays, the nursery is quite crowded (not to mention loud), with the likes of Cookie Dough Babies, Peanut Butter Babies, and even flavored raw macaroons.

And then there are the Special-Edition and Holiday Babies:

I made cherry babies last night: essentially homemade cherry pie Larabars. Delicious!

Hi Katie,
I just thought I should let you know that your Babies are a HUGE hit with my family, friends adn co-workers … they are now my go to “house warming gift”/”haven’t seen you in a while, here eat some Babies”/”lunch room snacks”/”best snacks ever!” gift! I absolutely love them! I really do not like dates at all, ew, but you can not even tell that you are eating a fancy “date ball” – so amazing! I have made a lot of your different flavors and next on my list are the ones dipped in chocolate!
Thanks for all the great recipes and healthy food ideas.

I finally did it! I made babies and I am in love. LOVE!
Tried it with dried plums also (cause they were on sale, and I’m cheap) not too bad, but not nearly as amazing as the date and almond combo. I gave some to my neighbors and they had no clue they were healthy.
Seriously, you are amazing! Keep up the great work.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aww thank you!!

No, thank you! For someone struggling with a diabetic diet, and having all sugars ripped away from me, this tastes like a miracle.

Hi Katie, I just love your site! Can you add a link to the item that’s in the second and third photo on this page? None of the links are taking me to it, but it looks yummy! It’s some sort of chocolate chip ball with white icing or something white melted on top. Thanks so much!

Katie, why are they called Sex Bomb Babies? I’m 13, and sex, makes me sick to my stomach. Seams like on this blog, sex is fun. I think it’s gross.
