Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Makes 12 to 18 squares

Necessary ingredients

- 2 cups crispy rice cereal, crushed
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons nondairy butter, such as Earth Balance, melted, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup nondairy semisweet chocolate chips

Cooking Method

Generously oil a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the crushed crispy rice cereal, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup of the nondairy butter, and vanilla. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan. 

In a small saucepan (or double boiler), melt together the chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Spread the chocolate mixture over the top of the peanut butter mixture. Set aside for 1 to 2 hours to set.
