Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Rocky Road Fudge

By Dolphl1970

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (if natural, spill the oil on top off first)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups confectioners sugar
• 1/3 cup milk of your choice (I used rice, but I usually use soy)
• 3 tablespoon vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/3 cup nuts of your choice (I used macadamia)
• 3 or more vegan marshmallows

Preparation

Step 1

Next, I mixed the peanut butter, chocolate chips, rice milk, Earth Balance and vanilla together in a bowl (well, microwave-safe Tupperware container) and microwaved them all in 30 second intervals until everything was melted. You could also do this on the stove, but I opted for the microwave since the hot plate in my kitchenette takes forever to heat up. I mixed everything together well and added the cocoa powder and confectioner's sugar then crushed the nuts with a cup and added those in as well. Last, but not least, the most important ingredient! I ripped up the vegan marshmallows in bite-sized pieces and mixed them in too. For this recipe I used the toasted coconut variety and it was super tasty. Once everything it combined, pour it all into a square pan or Tupperware and refrigerate at least one hour before eating. Mmmm.

I used rice milk in this recipe, but I think soy or almond milk would work much better. I've also always been meaning to try using almond or macadamia nut butter instead of the peanut butter. other fun add-ins to try would be shredded coconut, dried raisins, cranberries, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts. I think this would be super awesome with veganwhite chocolate or butterscotch chips if I ever feel like splurging. The butterscotch ones don't have ingredients listed, but I've read on a lot of forums that they're vegan. I'd love to think up some more fudge varieties to make myself, as I'm always drooling over this very expensive vegan Fudge of the month club: here. Let me know what you try!
