Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ cup margarine
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¾ cup egg substitute
• 1 ⅛ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 (5 ounce) milk chocolate candy bar, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the sugar, olive oil and margarine until smooth. Stir in the egg substitute and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking powder, gradually stir into the wet ingredients. Mix in the chopped candy bar. Chill dough for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 9 inch long log. Place the logs onto the prepared cookie sheet 4 inches apart and flatten to 1 1/2 inch thickness. If there is not enough room, put each one onto a separate sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven until somewhat firm. Cool on the baking sheets until cool enough to handle.

Step 5

Remove baked loaves to a cutting board and cut each one crosswise into 1/2 inch slices with a sharp knife. Place the slices cut side down back onto the baking sheets, and toast on each side for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.
