1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup peanut butter
1 ½ cups sweetened fiber twigs, soy protein grahams and honey puff cereal
Combine in large bowl, soy flour blend, brown sugar, margarine, shortening, ½ cup peanut butter, egg, vanilla and salt; mix well. Press dough into ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Topping: While mixture is cooling; combine chocolate chips and ½ cup peanut butter in saucepan and heat stirring until smooth. Add cereal and stir to combine. Spread chocolate mixture on warm bars. Let cool. Cut into bars. Makes 4 dozen.
