Sticky Kids Stuff -- Vegan Fudge the new revolution

Well, I had my food processor out this morning to make green noodles. Yep, it's that kind of day. Chickpea noodle soup instead of chicken noodle soup for us tonight. Eyeing my food processor I thought ... what if ... what if ... what if ... and before I knew it I was throwing some stuff in and making this sticky amazing fudgey delight that has no crap and no sugar and no gluten and no nothing bad for you and holy hannah it's like eating chocolate frosting in the 70s ... Anyway, I had a couple of pieces after lunch ... after my salad of shredded carrot, tomato, and sauerkraut. Yes, I know I'm weird. But you love me anyway. xoxo

It has that glossy gorgeousness and that intense chocolateyness that screams I can't possibly be good for you ... but alas it is. Yahoooooooooooooo.
