peanutbutter chocolate rice crispies!

It's official. I am starting a food blog in order to aid me in my procrastination from school work. To all of you that read this: kudos to you for seeing the start of this project. I eventually want to start a real food blog and maybe even a zine of yummy vegan and probably wheat free foods. If you care to participate I would love for this to be a collective effort (cough Talene cough cough).

Today I decided that I couldn't study without food. I made a fabulous cabbage salad with homemade sweet cucumber dressing and rice crackers. It satisfied my hunger but sparked my sweet tooth. I'm too lazy/poor/busy to go to the store and get stuff to make wheat free cupcakes or even stuff for fudge. As usual I was craving something chocolaty with peanut butter and thus invented these yummy ball things. In the end they kinda ended up like that one cereal mix thing that was really yummy and always at parties in 5th grade, but whatever.

Melt a gigantoid scoop of peanut butter over low heat, add in a spoon full of earth balance, throw in a handfull of chocolate chips, if you don't have enough chocolate chips add in about 1/5 cup of cocoa powder, add in some powdered sugar (I used natural peanut butter so it wasn't very sweet, if you're using Jiffy or something you probably don't even need the sugar here) after this was all nice and melty I poured in some brown rice crispies (maybe two cups??) basically enough to where they were all covered in chocolate but there wasn't too much chocolate left over... Finally I put out a sheet of wax paper and covered in in powdered sugar and scooped the balls onto the paper rolling them around to make cute little sugar coated balls! Sooooo yummy.

Now I'm all fat and happy and feel too lazy to study. haha

P.S. Everything I used was organic and wheat free except the powdered sugar which was generic store brand. This means that you can argue that these are indeed health food, not junk food. :-) You could also omit the chocolate chips and just do the cocoa powder which would reduce the sugar and calories a bit if you wanted.
