Peanut Butter Chocolate Squares aka Heavens

I found this recipe somewhere on the internet, looked at it, thought it looked incredible, placed it in my big fat binder of vegan recipes and forgot about it. That is, until I was invited to a party with coworkers and was in charge of bringing a dessert. I would have love to whip up a sick nasty cake or something but I didn't have enough time between wedding dress shopping (tee hee) and when we had to leave. So I perused my big ol' binder and saw it! The proper title is "Divine Better Than Reese Peanut Butter Squares" but I think that's a mouthful so I'm going to rename it for my purposes. After I left the party last night I got a text message saying "your peanut butter chocolate heavens are almost gone. they are magnificent." So I am hereby calling them Heavens - because that's what your mouth feels like when you are eating them. For serious.

Before I enlighten you on the way of heaven I pose this question - is there anything more ridiculous than the combination of peanut butter and chocolate?

Ingredients:
2 cups of crispy brown rice cereal, crushed
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup vegan margarine, melted
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 vegan chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegan margarine

Directions:
Combine the first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Press mixture into a 9 x 13 pan.
In a saucepan or double boiler over low heat, melt the last two ingredients together, stirring often.
Spread the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture and set aside for an hour or two in the fridge.
