Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Sticks

"Nobody better lay a finger on my..." chocolate covered peanut butter stick!  ;)

1 cup Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp Earth Balance
1 tbsp vanilla extract
8-10 mini Chick-O-Sticks

Makes 8-10 candies

1: In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, Earth Balance and vanilla on low until completely mixed
