You never go wrong if you end with chocolate!

Fudge Squares:
½ cup (1 stick) margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
½ cup nondairy creamer
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon margarine, softened
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup brewed coffee

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

To prepare the fudge squares: In a large bowl, cream the margarine with sugar and egg.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add to the margarine mixture; then add the melted chocolate. Stir in the creamer, vanilla, and walnuts, just to blend.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Transfer the cake to a rack and let cool completely.

To prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, margarine, chocolate and vanilla. Add coffee and whisk until smooth.

Refrigerate the glaze until cool, then pour over the top of the bars and cut the cake into squares.
