Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge

1/2 cup margarine

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 cup cocoa

1 cup peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla

I always screw up the easy stuff! It's too much fun. You are supposed to put the wet ingredients together first and then mix in the dry and save the peanut butter for last. This was also probably written for commercial peanut butter which is easy to mix and smooth. I made it with natural peanut butter which is basically just peanuts sent through a grinder to make a "paste". Well, lets just say I had to add a lot more liquid to the recipe and it still is pretty dry and nutty. Though this is definitely a step in the right direction from my last batch of regular fudge that had to stay in the refrigerator to keep its shape. When I made this fudge, I added another stick of earth balance (each stick of earth balance buttery sticks is 1/2 c) and even a couple of tablespoons more melted and poured on top as I was trying to mix them in the double boiler. I also added about 1/4-1/2 if Rice Dream and another 1tsp vanilla. I think it could still use more liquid. This makes enough to spread over wax paper in a 9*9 inch pan. Chill in the fridge until solid and then enjoy. So if you want to try my version, it's below

1 small tub (which is about 1 cup) of natural fresh ground peanut butter
3 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4-1/2 cups rice dream original
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup Cocoa
1-2 stick of earth balance
