The Dessert Formerly Known As Rice Krispies Wheels . . .

And currently known and loved as LOG.

Credit for Log must go to one of my old roomies from UVic, Stephanie, who introduced us to the log, and it was so darn good that we would have to cut the entire thing up into 3 portions so we didn't fight over who had eaten how much log.

Aside from 2 TBSP of milk, the entire recipe is vegan, so I'm sure it could be easily veganized by subbing in soy milk, or even water.

This recipe is NOT Weight Watchers Friendly.

LOG

LOG BASE:

3/4 cup Corn Syrup
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 TBSP margerine
4 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal

Put syrup and sugar in a large sauce pan, and cook over med heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Add peanut butter and margerine. Stir till smooth. Add cereal, and stir to coat. Press mixture into a jelly pan lined with waxed paper. Set aside to cool.

CHOCOLATE LAYER:
1/3 cup margerine
2 TBSP milk
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2/3 cup cocoa powder

Melt margerine with milk over low heat. Remove from heat, add icing sugar and cocoa, and blend till smooth. Cool a bit.

Spread chocolate layer over log base, and then carefully roll the log lengthwise. Cool in refridgerator. Slice into 1/2 inch pieces, and try not to eat the entire thing at once.
