Sunday Brunch: Chocolate Hemp Protein Bars

Adapted from my mother's recipe for haystacks.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Margarine
1/4 cup Soy Milk
4 tbsp Cocoa
2 Cups Oats
1/2 cup Coconut
1/2 Cup Hemp Seeds, Hulled

In a saucepan, heat sugar, margarine, soy milk and cocoa over medium low until it low boils. In a pan, toast hemp seeds over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Add the seeds, coconut and oats to the chocolate mixture and stir until mixed. Pour into a lightly greased 9x9 pan and cool until solid. Cut into bars and enjoy.

Sunday Brunch: Crunchy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

I got this from the side of the No Name peanut butter jar, substituting margarine for butter and using less, as well as chocolate chips for baker's chocolate and Special K for marshmallows (no vegan marshmallows available locally).

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Graham Crumbs
1/2 cup Vegan Margarine, melted
1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Generous 1/2 cup of Peanut Butter
2 cups Special K cereal, or other puffed or flaked rice cereal

Combine Graham crumbs, margarine and sugar and spread across a greased 8" pan. Cook for 5 minutes at 350F and then let cool until firm.

In a double boiler or a bowl over water @ medium-low heat, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Add in cereal and spread over the graham crumb mixture. Cool and cut into squares.
