Almond-Coconut Butter Fudge (Diary Free, GF, Yeast free, Sugar Free!)

So don't hate me, but I flew by the seat of my pants again and didn't measure this experimental- I must-have-chocolate-now-or-someone's-going-down-recipe. I'll guess-ti-mate and hopefully repeat in the future for more exactness.
Chocolate may have to be kicked out soon, but since I don't know and it hasn't caused me any negative symptoms for the last six months, I went for it in my moment of weakness.

INGREDIENTS:
4-5 generous scoops of Coconut Butter (guesstimate)
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (I like Ghirardelli)
Stevia to taste (maybe 10 drops for me)
Almond Butter (I buy Artsana) (I'm going to say I used 1/4 cup)
(without the almond butter it was sweeter, so maybe you want to stop before adding the almond butter, or maybe not. We still don't know what's responsible for the hardening)

-Heat the cocoa and the coconut butter in a pan while stirring until the coconut butter melts and mixes with the chocolate
-Add stevia drops to taste
-Add the almond butter and stir

I put it over my SCD/GAPS lactose free yogurt. It made a hardened shell that made me reminisce about that chocolate I used to pour on ice cream that would make that crispy shell:) Well I can do it without sugar, boo-yah!

I'm pretty sure if put in an greased glass jar and put in the fridge this would make a rockin' fudge, but I was WAY to impatient for that.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: this did not make me feel good, I think coconut butter for me is like a pure jump into sugar land. Now I'm making fudge/chocolate with carob powder, ghee, coconut oil, stevia, walnuts, and vanilla extract. I'll post that recipe soon.
