Makes 15 servings

Decadent, vegan, peanut butter chocolate treats.

Ingredients

2	cups crispy rice cereal, crushed
1 1/2	cups natural peanut butter
2	cups confectioners' sugar
1/2	cup plus 2 tbsp. Earth Balance butter , melted, divided
1	tsp. vanilla extract
1/2	cup nondairy semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Generously butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan (but don't forget this is a no-bake recipe so any big clumps of butter aren't just going to melt in to the bars, they're going to just sit there and be gross - so spread evenly!)
In a large bowl, combine the cereal, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup of the butter, and vanilla. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
In a small saucepan (or double boiler) melt the chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tbsp. 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. (I recommend keeping these in the fridge so that: A. You can eat them faster, and B. They won't get all melty).
