peanut butter fudge

I experienced yet another vegan brownie baking disaster on Sunday. This time, I think I have figured out what's causing the batter to swell so much in the oven -- it's the egg replacement I'm using (2 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 tablespoon oil). Despite the tragedy, I absolutely must tell you all about the brownies.

Despite the tragedy, I absolutely tell you all about the brownies.

 


My husband bought this bar of chocolate a month or so ago . . .  that had dried hot peppers in it! So, I used that as the chocolate in the recipe . . . and then added a pinch of cayenne pepper (and a little cinnamon). It had a kick for sure. And I was so excited to try the finished product. About 15 minutes in, sweet brownie aromas wafted up the stairs from our kitchen and into the office (where I was looking up even more recipes). Yum, I thought. Yum!

 

Then smoke.

Then the alarm.

Then – to my horror – black brownie batter smoldering on the oven floor.

Ahh! Can SOMEONE give me a great vegan brownie recipe that doesn't explode in the oven? I imagine I just need to use applesauce -- something with less baking powder.

So, last night I decided to go no-bake on you all. Well, I was talking to my friend Jill online a few days ago . . . and she mentioned she was making fudge. And I realized I haven't done that in a LONG time (which, Jill, if you're reading this -- that little joke is for you . . . hahaha). And also never vegan.

What you'll need . . .

  2. Stir in brown sugar and milk -- and bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla (and make sure you read your labels carefully . . . because I accidentally poured in some mint extract!!!).
  4. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth; pour into an 9x13 inch dish.
  5. Chill until firm and cut into squares.

    looks so good, but what exactly is vegan butter?

    Earth Balance. Or any other kind of non-dairy margarine. :)
