Mmmmm...chocolate

I may have mentioned before that one of my more serious addictions would be chocolate. My other addiction would be health food. There are only a few venues which can effectively mesh together these rather polar opposite priorities. Luna Bars is one of them. Chocolate peppermint, chocolate raspberry, chocolate chocolate...with fiber! Yes!
Unfortunately, I pretty much need a separate budget category for my Luna Habit. Or not, here we go.

Chocolate Energy Bars

2 cups puffed rice cereal (I used Kashi GoLean)
2 cups rolled oats
1 Tbl flax meal
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
1tsp cinnamon and vanilla
5 Tbl unsweetened cocoa powder
2tsp stevia (or 1/4 cup brown sugar)
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk (or milk)
1/2 cup whatever you like: cashews, chocolate chips, dried cherries, sunflower seeds etc.

1. Combine chocolate powder, soy milk, molasses, honey and stevia in sauce pan over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture slightly thickens.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in bowl, pour liquid over top and stir until well combined. Add more molasses/honey if needed.
3. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until top is slightly dry. Allow to set at room temp.
