Vegan Puppy Chow

The puppy chow recipe from our bake sale was borrowed from PETA's website.  Here it is:

1 c semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1/4 c vegan margarine
9 c rice cereal squares
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c powdered sugar

Combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and vegan margarine in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 1 minute, or until melted. Add vanilla.

Place the cereal squares in a large container and pour in the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until all the squares are coated.

Add the powdered sugar to the container and seal with a lid. Shake gently until the sugar has coated all the squares.

Place in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Once solidified, store in the refrigerator. (We totally ignored this entire step).
