Midnight Munchies
1 cup of margarine (I use Earth Balance)
3/4 cup of dry sweetener (Florida crystals, or sucanat)
1 table spoon of molasses (or maple syrup)
3 tablespoons of smooth all natural peanut butter
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
2 cups of vegan rice crispy cereal (any puffed rice cereal will do, I've even used Kashi for a healthier HA! m.m)
1 tablespoon of smooth all natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon of cocoa
1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour (any kind will do)
In a constant attempt to impress my non-vegan friends with my fabulous vegan-sweets, I have come up with the best way to cure an attack of the sweet tooth. Enjoy-
Combine all of the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and let sit (no longer than ten minutes otherwise it will be too thick)
Combine the rice crispies, the cocoa and the whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl. Pour wet mixture from saucepan into the dry ingredients. Mix well. Add the extra tablespoon of peanut butter. Mix well.
Line a small brownie pan with aluminum foil, or a cookie sheet. (No need to grease) Push the mixture into the pan, packing it down so it is nice and firm.
Refrigerate. (For best results, if you haven't already eaten the mixture, let refrigerate over night) Cut into squares and serve. The best remedy for the midnite munchies:))
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Delicious. I realized at the last minute that I was out of maple, so I substituted corn syrup and it still tasted fantastic! We couldn't get enough. I'd like to experiment with putting chocolate chips in with the cereal....
