![]() ![]() This recipe looks amazing! Do you have any suggestions if I wanted to take out the coconut? Replacements? Do you think it would terribly affect the recipe? While you’re atoning, I’ll be happy to eat any leftovers! These bring back some kind of primal craving from my childhood, too. OMG! Those look so yummy! Just looking at the pictures makes me drool! Who cares if they aren’t fat free! I believe you can have a healthy diet and still indulge occasionally. You’ve given us so many great, healthy recipes and I’m grateful for that! Well, I haven’t made a comment here in so long, but just had to come out of hiding – what you said cracked me up! Give me a break! People actually write you letters like that? Now I just need a party or event to go to so I can make them. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Those look fabulous! I can deal with 9g of fat… but I don’t know if I could only eat one. This was one of my childhood fav’s too : ) If fat-free foodies can’t forgive you for this one, then they need some help! This is the lowest fat, healthiest version of this insanely unhealthy recipe I have ever seen. Older comments were lost when the blog was updated. I’m definitely bringing some to my parents’ house for Christmas! I suppose these vegan magic cookie bars are not too much of an extravagance if you can keep yourself from eating more than one (in my dreams!) Still, I’ll be reserving these for special occasions. ![]() Believe it or not, my old friend silken tofu worked its magic again! ![]() They’re melted chocolate, coconut, and nuts on a buttery crust of graham cracker crumbs held together by a creamy layer of…Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk? Well, they used to be, but not anymore. But, miracle of miracles, it worked, and they tasted just like how I remember my Mom’s. So I spent literally days coming up with a recipe that I thought might work before putting it to the test, afraid even as I did it that I’d wind up wasting my time and ingredients. Sure, the idea of revisiting an old childhood favorite had its appeal, but I think the explorer in me just wanted to see if it could be done. I think I could have let the craving die a natural death, but there was something about the challenge of veganizing a seemingly unveganizable recipe that spurred me on. But something I saw on another blog or in a magazine must have reminded me of them because suddenly the craving was there and I just couldn’t let it go. Have you ever gotten a craving for something and you finally just had to give in? My mother used to make these overly-rich but amazing treats for holidays and special occasions, but in the last few years I never even thought about them, assuming that they were lost to me because they contain a primary ingredient that is so non-vegan that it’s hard to conceive of a workable substitute. I just want to make that clear right from the start or else I’ll get letters. Though these bars are a little lower in fat than their non-vegan counterparts (and have no cholesterol), this is definitely the most fat-filled, junk foodish recipe that you’ll see on this blog, ever. In fact, there is absolutely nothing healthy about these vegan magic cookie bars except, perhaps, the nuts. ![]()
