Yah, I know...fudge! I was doing a search for some earlier and found that. I also found this:
Dairy-Free Vegan Fudge
6 tbsp. vegan margarine
3-1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup sifted cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup soymilk
1 cup of chopped nuts (if desired)
Lightly grease a pan. Place all ingredients, except for nuts, in a double boiler. Place over simmering water and stir until smooth. Add nuts (if desired) and pour mixture into prepared pan. Chill.
I'm thinking about trying this with maybe 4 Tbsp of Soy Garden & no nuts and see how it comes out. It doesn't say what size pan though, so I don't even know how much it makes.  But, fudge is worth the effort to experiment. I'll let you know if I have any success!

I could really go for some of that. Maybe I will just have to make it.

If you try it before me, let me know how it comes out.

Ok so it is in the fridge cooling but I can say the spoon tasted really good. I would use an 8x8 square pan. I used a bigger pan and didn't spread it out all the way. 4 T. worked fine. It may have taken a little longer to make smooth and it may be a bit thicker than usual but it worked. Thank you for taking care of my chocolate craving.

Mags suggested decreasing the margarine from 6T. to 4T. It cools quickly and really tastes great. Tory said you can't tell the difference. It really tastes like fudge. I was thinking I should buy more sugar so I can make them for Thanksgiving.

Before IBS, I used some of the Dixie Diner products...(but quite a while ago).....they were all good if I remember right.
But in this case, the fudge is 38% fat.  Sure you want to do that?

Kandee,
After I found the Dairy Free Vegan Fudge recipe, I wasn't too worried about the mix.
What about the fat for the recipe? Do you know how to figure out the fat for recipes that don't give you the info? If so, teach me!! Please! 
It will be your half of the trade for the computer training!  LOL If you know, that is.

Okay. You take the total grams of fat, then you multiple that figure by 9. Got it? Then you have total fat calories. You divide THAT figure by the total calories. You with me so far?
Say, for instance, that the total fat grams were 2.5. Multiply that by 9 and you get 22.5. Still with me, Girlfriend?
Then lets say the total calories were 58. You divide the 22.5 by 58, and you get 39% fat.
Simple. It only took me 2 months to learn it!

I know all that! Remember - palm pilot? calculator included?
If you just have a recipe (the Dairy Free Vegan Fudge) with no info (grams of fat, calories, etc.), how do you figure THAT part out. Once I got that, piece of cake.
Does that make sense?

This recipe looks yum and I am wondering Mags, Kandee or Bevrs if any of you figured out the fat content for this?
Thanks,

I think I figured it out. For the whole recipe, the total calories are 2260 and fat calories are 445. That's using 4 T of Soy Garden & no nuts. So, that fat percentage would be about 20%.
And, I pathetically STILL have not tried this! LOL If you try it, let me know what you think. Heidi says it's good.

I've got to say, this recipe has fooled so many people it's not even funny. I accidentally only used 2 tbsp of soy butter, and I like it better that way to be honest. I used an 8 by 8 pan. From the time I turn on the heat for the water (I use an electric stove) to the time it's in the frig= 15 minutes. Just a warning, if you are a chocoholic, these are ABSOLUTELY addicting.
