    please watch this short video and share it with your non-veg friends! going meatless just one day a week can have a tremendous impact on the environment, not to mention save countless lives of farm animals! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpziz8cJMaI

    Everything can be made vegan :) For this recipe, I would sub EACH egg with this mixture: 2 tsp. baking powder, 2 Tbsp. water, 1 Tbsp. oil. Mix well. The bars may be a tiny bit denser, but they should still be pretty yummy!

    I normally bake chocolatey treats, but I definitely want to try this peanut butter chew recipe! They sound scrumptious and they’d be great to bring along to holiday parties. YUM!!
