I just got this recipe on a different list and haven't had a chance to try
it, but I will share it anyway.  Enjoy.

**************
VANILLA COATING (for apples, pretzels, etc)

2 cups granulated sugar
1 /2 cup dairy alternative (i.e. soy milk or Dari-Free)
1 / 4 cup margarine
1 /4 cocoa butter (or you can substitute margarine, but the flavor will
not be as near to white chocolate)

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil,
stirring occasionally.  Remove stirring spoon and allow mixture to boil
for five minutes, do not stir.  Remove from heat and allow to cool for
two minutes.  Using caution with hot mixture, beat with a stand mixer
for  approximately 4 minutes or a hand mixture for 5 minutes or until
thick and creamy.  Working quickly, dip fruit or pretzels into mixture
and transfer onto wax paper.  If using as a candy base or fudge,
transfer into well greased shallow glass or metal pan.
