Peanut Buttah Bars

Who doesn't love peanut butter and chocolate? When I go to the store I avoid the junk food aisle like its the plague, everything I use to enjoy when I wasn't vegan has milk product in it. So when I came across a recipe that put my two favorite things together...I had to try it! Are they good for you, probably not, and they good to eat, OH-YEAH!

• 3 cups rice cereal-crushed
• 1 cup natural peanut butter-smooth
• 1 cup powdered sugar (how to make vegan powdered sugar)
• 1/4 cup earth balance-melted

• 1 cup dark chocolate- melted
• 1 tbsp earth balance-melted

Crush the cereal in a food processor-or in a ziplock bag using a rolling pin.
In a large bowl, mix together, cereal, peanut butter, sugar, and butter
Don't be scared to get you fingers dirty, mix it up well.
In a square pan, press the cereal mixture down until its firmly together.

Fill water in a small pot 1/4 full. Place a small bowl on top of the pot and fill it up with the chocolate.
Bring water to a boil, melting the chocolate. Add melted butter.

Pour Chocolate over the rice cereal, place in the refrigerator until the chocolate is hardened.

We're Jammin'

I bought some local raspberry jam the other week, and decided to use it today. These yummy jam bars are perfect for that lazy Monday afternoon. I was inspired  from the cookbook,
Vegan Brunch-by Isa Chandra Moskowit.
I changed it, but not on purpose. I forgot to add the soured soy milk. Which made the batter really thick and stiff. I hate it when you put it everything together, and then glance over at the counter, S**t, I forgot the milk!
To late it was going in the oven:P
I think they turned out perfect, nice and crumbly, you will defiantly need a plate to eat these.

1/3 cup cane sugar
