Chocolate Victory Bar Recipe

Name: Chocolate Victory Bar Recipe
Yield: 10 bars
Ingredients: Oil, for coating the pan; 1 1/2 cups crispy brown rice cereal; 1 cup rolled oats (not instant); 1/2 cup raw sliced almonds; 1/4 cup raw wheat germ; 2 tablespoons unsweetened, untoasted, dried coconut flakes; 2 tablespoons flax seed meal; 1/2 cup brown rice syrup; 3 tablespoons natural smooth unsalted peanut butter; 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon fine salt; 1/3 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

"These Chocolate Victory Bars triumph over mass-market nut-and-chocolate energy bars. I started toying with this recipe when news of salmonella-tainted peanut butter broke in October 2009 and my favorite energy bars, Luna Nutz Over Chocolate, were pulled from grocery store shelves. Think of these fairly nutritious peanut-chocolate bars as less of a diet food and more like a healthy candy bar. What to buy: Crispy brown rice cereal, flax seed meal, wheat germ, and brown rice syrup are available at many health food and grocery stores.
