¼C Soy Margarine (Willow Run or Earth Balance are the best)
1C Maple Syrup
¼C Cocoa powder (or melted Trader Joe's chocolate chips)
1C Peanut butter (and/or Almond butter)
1t Vanilla
1T Cinnamon
1C Shredded Wheat (crushed)

• Melt the soy margarine and add maple syrup (burner on high). Boil while stirring for about 5 minutes until goo drips from spoon in a solid line.

• Turn burner down or off; stir in cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.

• Crush shredded wheat and stir into mixture until evenly distributed.

• Drop by spoonfuls onto plates and put in refrigerator (this will harden them and keep from melting again).

Soy-free, gluten-free version: instead of shredded wheat, use Nature's Path Organic Corn Flakes (fruit juice sweetened); instead of soy margarine, use Earth Balance Soy-Free buttery spread.
