Ingredients

• 2 cups cashew butter
• 2 cups confectioners sugar - organic
• 8 ounces dairy free butter
• 2 cups rice crispies - there is also a gluten free type
• 12 ounces chocolate chips

Instructions

1. If your would like to make your own cashew butter, click here = Cashew Butter
2. Mix the cashew butter, confectioners sugar and the vegan butter together.
3. Fold in the 'rice krispies'
4. Put in the fridge for 1 hour so that it is easier to make balls out of the mixture.
5. Scoop out 1" balls. I am still a large advocate of the candy/cookie scoop. It just makes it a quicker job. A teaspoon will work fine. After you finish scooping they are easy to round up with some swirls in the palms of your hands.
6. Put the fudge balls back into the bowl and freeze 15 minutes.
7. Take out a baking sheet and lay a piece of waxed paper in the bottom.
8. On this place a cooling rack.
9. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at half power. Stir after a minute and continue checking every minute until it is all melted.
10. Now take the balls out of the freezer and roll each ball in the chocolate.
11. Lift them out of the chocolate with two forks, letting extra chocolate drip back into the bowl.
12. I even swipe a little bit of chocolate off the bottoms on the edge of the bowl.
13. Lay the chocolate covered balls on the rack to dry.
14. This time I practiced swirling the top of each ball with a toothpick to make them prettier.
15. When completely cool and the chocolate has hardened remove by placing your finger under each one and pop it up off of the rack.
