Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Choc chips

I picked this recipe out of Vegetarian Times magazine, but apparently they got it from The Joy of Vegan Baking

Ingredients
2 cups crispy rice cereal, crushed
1 1/2 cups natural peanut butter
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup + 2 Tbs. non-hydrogenated, nondairy butter, melted*
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup nondairy semisweet chocolate chips

* I HIGHLY recommend Earth Balance Whipped Buttery Spread

I know these are not the type of ingredients you will find at your average grocery store–I have found all at my local Co-Op.

Directions
1. Coat 13- x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine cereal, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and vanilla in large bowl. Press mixture into prepared baking pan.
3. Melt nondairy chocolate chips and remaining 2. Tbs. butter, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. (Or microwave in 30-second increments until melted, stirring and checking often.)
4. Spread chocolate mixture over peanut butter mixture. Set aside 1 to 2 hours to set. Slice into squares. Try not to eat all at once.

I made these for the first time a few weeks ago when we had some friends over for dinner.

As I am not the most thorough mixer in the world, there were a few lumps of sugar in the bars, and we started calling them “crack” bars, and the name stuck.

It’s true. One bite of these Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars, and you will be addicted. In my house, they never even last long enough to get a picture of them.
