In a different group that I started, I posted a recipe for Peanut Rolls. However, this is different as it is vegan and incorportates coconut which is mighty delicious. Hope you all enjoy this one. Sometimes it is hard to find new and different vegetarian recipes--they tend to get redundant at time. Sometimes the different recipes end up being VERY different in taste(READ: NASTY). Let me know how you enjoy this one if you try it. Enjoy!
