Homemade Larabars:

Fudge Babies:

(Fudge Babies are simply Larabars that have been rolled into balls. You can easily turn any of the below flavors into Larabars by shaping into bar form.)

Nutritional Info:

The nutritional info is based upon the girl-scout cookie larabars; however I think all the flavors are probably pretty similar. Each Larabar-sized bar (45 grams) will have around 175 calories, 8 grams healthy fat, 2 grams protein, 25 grams carbs, 5 grams fiber, and zero grams of added sugar.

I just whipped up my first batch of fudge babies…I AM AN ADDICT. I popped two IMMEDIATELY, and I may have to sneak in another after dinner…they taste EXACTLY. LIKE. FUDGE. I’m still in awe. These babies are pure genius (and pure deliciousness)!

I did it! I finally made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Babies!! Outside of my silly mistake about the wrong dates (that’s all the store had!), they were absolutely delicious!! Thanks Katie! I blogged about them and sent everyone here for your great recipe!

Is it possible to make one of your dessert “babies” (fudge, pb, pumpkin, etc) nut-free? What would happen if the nuts were omitted? Would you just leave them out, or would you replace them with something else?

Reply

Melissa September 11, 2010 at 8:36 pm

I’ve made nut free ones with coconut. I’ve also done oats rather than nuts. :) They are slightly stickier (I like this, as I freeze mine and they get all chewy and caramelish) and a bit harder to roll but tasty!

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie September 11, 2010 at 10:48 pm

Mmmmm coconut! If you ever get a chance, make the pb babies with coconut butter in place of the pb. That’s one of my favorite versions. Maybe because coconut is involved?? :)

I just made Kentucky Derby Pie babies! Derby pie is a pecan or walnut pie with bourbon and chocolate chips–so I made babies with 80g dates, 30g pecans, about 15g vegan semisweet chocolate chips and a splash of bourbon vanilla extract. Yum. Highly recommneded.

I’ve been coveting a Vitamix for ages – I would start with the yummy salad dressings from my Everyday Raw book I just got for xmas, followed by lots of soups and then Green Monsters for my kids and I in the morning. No end to the fun…or the possibilities.

I make chocolate fudge babies all the time. They are now a staple in my diet! I think I need to try the peanut butter cup ones, though.

The flavor that sounds best to me is the Hot Cocoa Baby flavor! I make fudge babies all the time in my old hand me down food processor and absolutely love them! I have shared them with many people, including my professors who all love them! If I had a Vita-mix I would make tons of peachy-green ice cream, smoothies and vegan soups! Thanks for the opportunity Katie aka Ms. CCK!

Reply

Heather January 17, 2010 at 1:48 am

the peanut butter cup babies are definitely the best! The first thing that I would make would be a green monster. I make them in my current blender, but it takes so long because I constantly have to mix it around with a spoon (dangerous)! That would be for breakfast, and then I’d make almond butter to have with lunch, butternut squash soup for dinner, and lots of peanut butter babies for dessert. I’ve been wanting a vita-mix for so long, thank you so much for this opportunity, Katie!

The flavors that I’d want to make first would be the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Snickerdoodles. My two favorite cookies :) Thanks for such a great giveaway, I’ve heard such wonderful things about the Vita-Mix, I’ve been wanting to make frozen banana “ice cream” for the longest time!

I would have gone w/ the Peanut Butter cup babies but I really must choose the Mounds Bar Babies! It is definitely the Mounds Bar Babies!
Oh! But the firs thing I would make if I won the Vitamix would probably be Butternut Squash Soup! I just bought two and did so after making a Butternut Squash casserole. I needed two more to have on hand just so I didn’t have an excuse NOT to make a Butternut squash dish again. LOL If I keep them in the house, I must eat them! We love butternut squash!

Wow, Katie these all sound so good. It’s hard to just pick one. I guess I would first try the cashew cookie larabar w/ the thin mint variation in my new vitamix.

I’m going to make the Hot Cocoa babies for sure!

Oh I would be makin’ protein ice cream in it first thing!!

I would absolutely make the hot cocoa fudge babies! Before I went vegan that was always my favorite drink on a frozen morning, and whenever I’ve made these before they always remind me of that.
As for the first thing I would make with a vitamix, I think I would make a blended salad. I’ve been dying to try Gena’s (Choosing Raw) Creamy Zucchini Soup but I’ve never been able to because I don’t have the right equipment! :)
The other thing I would make is chocolate avocado pudding. I’ve always mashed the avo with a fork, but I think it would be better if it were completely smooth….

I would go with the Macaroon Babies. MMMM. As for the first thing I would do with the vita-mix…the possibilities are endless. I would make some type of soup (Probably a Bisque type soup) or I would do some fantastic fruit ice cream!

I love me some cookie dough babies! For my VitaMix? I would make a nice bowl of banana soft serve!

Mmm, the first thing I’d make would be a “not-tella.”

I would start with the PBcups or the choc. chip cookie dough! Yum! I have been BEGGING my hubby for a Vitamix, but he keeps saying I have to wait. Story of my life…

The PB and chocolate babies is soo good. But the first thing I would make would be a creamy smooth soup.

Fudge Baby you should do is a turtle fudge baby. With peanuts, caramel flavor, chocolate flavor..like a turtle candy!

Tirimisu Fudge Babies sound the best to me! That dessert reminds me of our rehersal dinner for our wedding. :)

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Babies sounds delicious! I would probably make some raw banana ice cream in the Vita-Mix.

Michelle January 21, 2010 at 6:02 am

Mounds Fudge Baby – I’ve missed Mounds bars as a vegan! The first thing I’d make in a Vita-Mix is fresh almond milk – and then add cocoa, agave & vanilla to make hot chocolate.

Julia January 21, 2010 at 3:17 pm

The peanut butter cup babies sound delish! I’d also like to try my hand at homemade nut butters and ice cream!!

I’m all about cookie dough baby! Dying for a vita-mix!

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Babies first choice. They sound absolutely AMAZING! Tiramisu Babies are a close second.

The first thing I’d make in the Vita-Mix is probably a nutter butter or banana soft serve.

Reply

Donca January 21, 2010 at 4:34 pm

I love the peanut butter babies and have been interested in trying the chocolate chip cookie dough babies. It sounds delish.

The first thing I would make with the vitamix would be the warm soups that I have heard about like pumpkin pie in a bowl. I’ve been wanting a vita-mix for so long what a great giveaway!!!!

Reply

Donna January 21, 2010 at 4:36 pm

I’m a sucker for anything pumpkin pie – so that would be my fisrt choice, I would definately like Tiramisu Babies as well!

The first thing I would make in the Vita-Mix is peanut butter, we have a ton of frozen nuts that I would love to use.

pauline January 21, 2010 at 5:07 pm

I`m a sucker for peanut butter, so that is a definite fave!! tiramisu would be really fantastic too, I`m sure!!

I think the first thing I`d made in a Vita would be a nice blended soup, something with coconut and tomato or red pepper…yum!!

erin January 21, 2010 at 5:19 pm

The first thing I’d make in a vitamix would probably be truffles. I can never seem to get smooth cashew cream and end up with crunchy truffles!

Reply

Jenessa January 21, 2010 at 7:14 pm

I think I messed up on my original entry from a few days ago because I don’t see it here…but, in any case, i would make the chocolate fudge babies in my new vita mix (fingers crossed).

pumpkin pie babies = heaven. as for the first thing i’d make with a brand-y new vita mix….well, i don’t think i could pick just one. i’d most probably sacrifice work and/or a social life and spend all day in the kitchen concocting things! :)

I think they all sound amazing! But Peanut butter cup or snickerdoodle babies would be awesome (especially if i could make them in a vita mix!)

sophie January 23, 2010 at 9:54 pm

everything looks phenomenal but i think i would have to first put the vita mix to use in making some lara bars, and the cashew cookie would be top of the list!

DEFINITELY cookie dough. mmmmmmm mmmmm

chocolate mint fudge baby! i’d keep it simple with cocoa powder, but add some peppermint extract or peppermint torani syrup!

mmm! i entered early on (or so I thought!) for the vitamix giveaway, but don’t think i ever commented on this page that it was the raw gingerbread babies i’d make!

… and i did make them! AMAZING! although no ginger men for me, just balls. one man’s enough!

anyway, i just want to make sure i don’t mess with the results.. my original comment was 1/16 at 9:45. will that be ok? or do i need to comment now that i’ve actually followed the directions (sigh. sorry!)?

Reply

Gwen January 26, 2010 at 3:59 pm

This is for the vitamix contest! The fudge baby I’d try first is likely to be tiramisu, though, I’d have to through some vin santo in there, get pine nuts in somehow, and dip it in homemade white chocolate! Next, thyme glazed macadamia nuts with sweet preserved lemons to replace an old shortbread favorite. Then gingerbread babies with apricots, black forest fudge babies with cherries…and some saffron, orange blossom, pistachio, dried strawberries are definitely begging to be made into babies, somehow.

The first thing I’d make in my vitamix would be nut milk, to be fermented into a yogurt that I’d drain, add some other ingredients including bacteria to, and age, in hopes of advancing my nut-cheese creations! A vitamix would allow me to buy nuts in bulk and cut down on the cost of packaged almond milk, what a lifesaver that would be right now!

ingrid January 26, 2010 at 5:00 pm

oh yum, peanut butter cup babies i would definitely make!
the first thing i would make is fresh juices…….mmmmm.

The raw cookie dough babies sound amazing to me!!! I used to go through way to much pre-packaged cookie dough when I was in highschool, before my health nut days. Although I think Pillsbury cookie dough is vegan?
The pumpkin pie ones also rock my world!
