I hope you all had fun last week baking pies and submitting your recipes to Earth Balance's Made Just Right™ Holiday Bake-off sponsored by Whole Foods Market. This week Earth Balance is asking for your best dessert bar recipes! That means you can submit recipes for any dessert that comes in bar form - brownies lemon bars rice crispy treats...you get the idea!

You can submit your dessert bar recipes at Made Just Right™ today through 11:59pm EST on December 12 so get baking! Winners will receive a 400 Whole Foods Market gift card and a year's supply of Earth Balance® products!

Here is one of my favorite dessert bar recipes from my book p. 184.

Crispy Peanut Butter Treats With Chocolate Chips

Ingredients

1 box brown rice crisps cereal
1 3/4 cups brown rice syrup
Fine sea salt
3/4 cup Earth Balance® Peanut Butter
1/2 cup grain-sweetened nondairy chocolate or carob chips

Steps

Pour the rice cereal into a large bowl.
Heat the syrup with a pinch of salt in a saucepan over low heat.
When the rice syrup liquefies add the peanut butter and stir until well combined.
Pour over the rice cereal and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Once thoroughly mixed and cooled to room temperature stir in the chocolate chips.
Make sure the mixture is cool or you will end up with melted chocolate instead of chocolate chips in your treats.
Turn the mixture into an 8"x8" or 9"x13" baking dish.
Wet your wooden spoon lightly and press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Let cool for 1 hour - if you can - before cutting into squares or bars.

Have fun making your dessert bars and remember to submit your recipes at Made Just Right™! Remember it will be way cooler if your dessert bar is vegan!
