Delicious! You definitely have to add the carob slowly, because it doesn't mix well with wet ingredients.

This is vegan to-die-for fudge! This is so vegan delicious! Made as directed. For the almond butter I used recipe #369241. I took the first reviewer's comments into account and so carefully crafted this by, for example, slowly incorporating the carob powder. I used all the same measurements as called for in the recipe, but I chose to make this with a loving hand! Thanks, White Rose Child! Made for Vegetarian Recipe Swap.

Sorry, I hate to leave a bad review, but this was terrible. It turned into a toffee like mess in my saucepan, and the carob powder amount was too much. I ended up adding more rice syrup to try and save it, and ended up pressing the walnuts into the top of the toffee/fudge mixture. It needs some soy milk (about 1/2 cup), and then maybe some oil (1/4 cup), and it may turn out better.
