Carob Fudge Balls

Fudgy goodness for the Vegan!

The first night of my nutrition class these wonderful goodies were served. That’s when I realized following a vegan lifestyle was not only possible but could be fun! I have even messed them up by adding that last ingredient into the mix and they were still good. (Just a little dry, for which I had to compensate by adding a little liquid.) I can’t believe how good vegan desserts can be. Desserts should be enjoyed sparingly on a vegan diet but WOW what a nice treat!
