My favorite holiday treat is fudge! My grandmother used to make the best not-at-all-vegan chocolate and peanut butter fudge. I haven’t had any since going vegan, I need to try to veganize her recipe!
I like Almost Vegan and Better Raw on Facebook.
Am now following you both on Twitter! Yaaay!
It’s been tweeted! Of course, it’s therefore now on my Fb wall…
My favorite holiday treat is my grandmother’s “fudge lock” chocolate cake. The hubby has dubbed it “fudge lock” since the icing (that is poured on) forms a seal with the cake stand lid and makes it hard to get to the cake the first time if the lid is put on when it’s still hot/warm. Soooooo yummy. Am new to the raw lifestyle and it’s been a year since I’ve made this recipe, but it’s definitely my all time favorite. Definitely good memories of “Mom-Mom” and my Mother. Would love to find a raw version that’s equally delicious!

So many giveaways, it’s hard to keep up! I’d love to win a copy of this book. Honestly, I don’t associate any particular food with the Christmas holiday, but I suppose if I had to pick something it would be some type of pie, maybe pecan…? Mmmm
