Sometimes these cravings just have to be dealt with in the fastest and easiest way possible...
Quick and Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
**Warning, "Health Food" this is NOT!!
3/4 cup vegan margarine -- (We use Willow Run for this, definitely works the best)
1 cup peanut butter --(If you're using "natural" peanutbutter, this works best with as little oil as possible stirred into it. Great recipe for that dry crumbly stuff in the bottom of the jar. I use whatever peanut butter we have around...)
2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar (or "powdered" or "icing" sugar. Yes, it's possible to find non-bone-char -vegan-confectioners sugar)
1 cup chocolate chips (vegan)
1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions:
Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt margarine.
Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until smooth.
Stir in confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until well blended.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if you want. Pat into prepared pan.
Chill until firm. Cut into squares.
Yes, it's that easy. Enjoy.
WHOA . . . yum.

ReplyDeleteWe just made this and it's awesome! We substituted pecans for the peanuts and added a handful of mini marshmallows (I know, not vegan). It's still firming up in the fridge but I snuck a little piece. Thanks for the recipe!
