VEGAN NO BAKE COOKIES/PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE FUDGE
actually, these are more like fudge, but they're good just the same. you
can make them in about 5 minutes - the only problem is waiting until
they're cool enough to eat!
1 stick soy margarine
2 cups granulated sweetener (sugar, sucanat, whatever)
1/2 cup rice milk (use unflavored if possible)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup or more nut butter of choice
3 cups or more oats
vanilla extract (optional)
combine the margarine, sweetener, and rice milk in a pot over medium or
high heat. stir continually, and as the mixture starts to melt, add the
cocoa and nut butter. turn up the heat to the highest setting and allow
it to boil for one minute. add the vanilla at this point if you want.
stir to make sure the mixture is even, and gradually add the oats. you
can add more or less oats depending on your preference. more oats will
make it more like a cookie and may make it cool faster, while less oats
will make it more like fudge. continue stiring the oats until the
mixture is even and then spread on wax paper. allow it to cool.
