Ingredients:
- 1 avocado, ripened
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1 tsp vanilla

- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preparation:
In a medium sized saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.

Return mixture to saucepan over very low heat and aff the rest of the ingredients,except the walnuts, adding the powdered sugar a portion at a time.
Once all the sugar has been added, the mixture should be thick. Add walnuts if desired, and transfer to a loaf pan. Refrigerate until firm. Now, be patient! If you don't let it firm up, you won't be able to slice it up into squares.
