Vegan MoFo Day 6: When life hands you crumbly muffins...

...you make cake muffin balls! All but one muffin were reduced to crumbles yesterday, so I went with it. My housemates ate about half the muffins in crumbled form. I crumbled the remaining 6 or 7 muffins and turned them into muffin balls!

Failed muffins become fabulous balls

Pumpkin Muffin Balls

6 or 7 messed up pumpkin muffins, crumbled
1/4 cup Toffutti Better Than Cream Cheese
3/4 lb dark chocolate, cut into small pieces (I like the Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Pound Plus bars)

Mix the cream cheese into the muffin crumbles until it forms a thick dough (you may need to use your hands to get it really mixed).  Form balls about an inch or an inch and a half in diameter and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.

In the meantime, melt the chocolate in a double boiler (or a bowl placed over a small saucepan). When the balls are ready, drop them into the chocolate one at a time. Use a fork or spoon to carefully take them out and place them back on the cookie sheet. If you want to make the pretty little squiggles, put any remaining chocolate in a plastic bag, snip off the corner and draw lines over the balls. 

Note: If there's still some melted chocolate left, mix in some almonds, pretzels, peanuts, or Oreo pieces and drop in mounds onto a piece of parchment paper. Just don't let it go to waste!

 Makes 19 or 20 kitten ear-sized balls
