Recipe can be found over at the original post at WholeFoodVegan.

On a side note.. I tried something similar a few weeks back by using just puffed millet as the cereal. Horrible idea! It came out just as  chewy glob. It had a great flavor but the texture just didn’t work. I love what Amy did here by mixing crunchy with chewy by using the traditional puffed rice with the untraditional puffed millet.

Do you have any variations on the classic Rice Krispies Treat recipe?

2 cups unbleached flour

1/3 cup margarine or vegan buttery style stick

2/3 cup cocoa

2 cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup Dandies vegan marshmallows cut into small pieces

1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips

1/3 cup chopped nuts of choice

Preheat oven to 375.

Start by combining water and 1/3 cup flour in a small saucepan. Heat till mixture turns into paste. Remove from heat and cool.

Next melt margarine and and add cocoa. Mix untill smooth and set aside to cool.

When flour paste is cool mix with sugar, vanilla and salt. Add cocoa and margarine to sugar mixture.

Add remaining flour and baking powder. Mix completely. Batter should be thick.

Scoop batter into lightly greased 9×13″ pan. Batter will be thick, you will need to spread over bottom of pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with Dandies marshamllows, nuts of choice and chocolate chips. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. You want marshmallows to begin to melt so they will be nice and gooey.

Cool completely before serving.

Recipe:

- Vegan Graham Crackers (no honey!)

- Dark Chocolate bars

- Dandies vegan marshmallows

Seeing as the weather here in Chicago still is not all that great, Megan and I decided to make our S’mores indoors.

First, we laid out our graham crackers.

Then we layered our dark chocolate over them. I prefer to use a thinner chocolate bar because I believe it melts better. To melt marshmallows I sprayed a pan covered in foil with a thin layer of cooking spray. I then laid out  the Dandies vegan marshmallows on pan and put under the broiler for 1 minute one one side and 1 minute on the other.  Use a fork when flipping the marshmallows so you don’t burn your fingers. Simply lay the gooey marshmallow over the chocolate and top off with another graham cracker. We used 2 Dandies per S’mores!
