Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

I made this vegan version of rice crispy treats (gelatin free) for the pizza party the other night.  It's pretty simple, and topped with the same stuff that you put on puppy chow.

Treats:
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 rice crispy cereal

Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan and put on medium heat.  Cook until the mixture becomes bubbly, stirring so it won't burn.  Remove from the heat and add the peanut butter.  Put the cereal in a large mixing bowl and put the mixture on top.  Mix well.

Spread the mixture in a 9x13 in. pan.

Topping Sauce:
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegan butter
2 tbsp vanilla

Melt all together in a small sauce pan.  Pour the sauce over the cereal in the pan.

It's good warm, or chilled to completely harden the chocolate topping (otherwise it will stay the consistency of the peanut butter).  Cut into squares and serve.
