Vegan MoFo Day 32:Peanut Butter Pudge!and recipe!

peanut butter pudge

Peanut BUtter Pudge Bars.
Okay,it's November!
These are really sweet,fudgy,gooey,blondie-ish peanut butter bars.
Have you ever had a Rudy's Handbuilt Peanut Butter Goo bar?Well these are a lot like it.I think atleast.I've only had the goo once,at the last PGMG show in Seattle I ate it,and they're freaking awesome.They remind me of the toffee dark chocolate bars my mom used to make,which she made vegan,too.

1 cup ap or wwp flour
1 t baking soda
1/4-1/2 t salt(depending on how you like it and what peanut butter yr using)
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegan margarine
1/4 cup non dairy milk
1 t vaniller
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips/chunks

chocolate ganache.

I made these last a couple days before the stuffed tricked out peanut butter caramel apples and had left-over ganache from the apples to I spread it intop of the rest of these.

preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
cream the margarine and the sugars,add the peanut butter and cream.add milk and vanilla,too.
sift in flour,soda and salt.
add chocolate chips and stir.
put into a greased 8x 8 square or 9 in round baking pan.
bake 25-30 minutes.
done.
eat warm or cool or with ice creams or with more chocolate on top.

Vegan MoFo Day 30:No Treats,Just Trick-sjaaks Vegan Halloween Peanut Butters Cups!

sjaaks vegan halloween peanut butters cups!

Okay,well they are a treat,but compared to what comes/happens tomorrow,they're merely tricks.
Delicious tricks at that.They're just like the regular sjaak's peanut butter cups,and I don't have any to compare so I don't know if the chocolate is actually darker,but it's pretty dark.The filling is really good.Like,they nail it.It's perfectly slightly salty,and I love salty-sweet,but it's salty-sweet in the same way Reese's peanut butter cups are.Only thing is,these are TINY.Like,the peanut butter cups normally come at twice the size,which is still small,but these are so itty-bitty and cute.Y'know I once had a cat named Itty Bitty?BUt I don't want to get into that epic tale,it's too tragic,really.

j'like my socks?

sjaaks vegan halloween peanut butters cups!

aren't the black foil wrappers SO goth?!
but how un-goth are the way they're made in a flower mold?c'mon,it's halloween!

p.s I bought these at Food Fight! in Portland,and I think you can get them through their website.
Also,coincidentally I got the VegNews e-mail newsletter and these were the "product review".

Vegan MoFo Day 29:Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bread!

peanut butter banana chocolate chip bread

I love eating bananas with peanut butter.So good.I also like it with chocolate.
I like it with chocolate spread.
I like taking a mouthful of peanut butter and taking a sip of coffee,too.
I like dipping bananas in coffee,also.

This was awesome.I love the crust.
I'll post the recipe,soon!
I'm so excited I have quite a few of my own recipes now!

veganmofo 191

Tubb really liked this,he ate about 98% of it.Heh.

veganmofo 193

That's at about 37%,btw.

Daniel is stupid and hates bananas,except for once in a blue moon he'll buy some really ripe ones for toast,or is like "aww man,I was gonna eat that last piece of banana bread as toast for breakfast".But really,once in a blue moon.
