Ever since I've become a vegan I've been really happy. Along with animal products, I also cut out refined sugar, white flour, and processed foods. This is great for me, but less fun for those around me - especially the ones I work with. I used to bring donuts to meetings, have junk food parties during really stressful parts of the year, and have "ice-cream Fridays" in the summer. Now I eat soup, salad, lentils, veggies, tofu and fruit. So this post is for them. I made something I've heard some people call "monkey munch". I just call it yummy:
I melted two 3.5 once dark chocolate bars. Once it was smooth and creamy, I took it off the heat and stirred in some puffins cereal and slivered almonds. I spread a thick layer on a baking sheet lined with with wax paper and cleared some room in the fridge. Once it hardened, I broke it up and packaged it for my favorite co-workers! Some people make this recipe and add peanut butter during the chocolate-melting stage and put powdered sugar on it once hardened. I like to think that this version is a little healthier and could be good with raisins or cranberries in it. Think of all the anti-oxidants!
