This recipe is modified from Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet". It is worth picking up if you are thinking of incorporating more Veggie / Vegan food into your diet.
Remember: It's not an all or nothing thing. The more good choices you make the more you help the planet. You may not be ready for the whole hog but every Vegan / Vegetarian choice you make helps.
These are soooooooooo Yummy.
I make them with 1/2 this amount of sugar, slightly less addictive for me then.
YIELD: 9 to 12
INGREDIENTS: filling
1/4 cup vegan butter (Earth Balance / margarine)
3/4 cup crunchy (nuts only) Peanut Butter
3/4 cup of crushed Anna's ginger cookies (You find these at IKEA, not sure where else)*
1/4 cup maple sugar (or other dry sugar - remember refined sugars may not be veggie friendly)
3 tbsp ground flax seed (Optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Melt butter in saucepan. Put muffin liners into muffin tin. Add peanut butter, cookies crumbs, sugar and flax. Blend well. Scoop into liner filled muffin tins. Put into freezer to harden.
INGREDIENTS: topping
1 cup Dairy free chocolate chips (If you can find them sweetened with out cane sugar
all the better
1/4 cup "milk" (you know, soy, rice almond. Whatever you like)
1/4 chopped nuts

DIRECTIONS:
Remove filling from freezer. Melt chocolate chips in with milk till melty and smooth. Spoon over peanut butter filling. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and sesame seeds.
