no thanks. puffed rice. Corn syrup. No thanks.
These bars were very yummy and filling but they were a bit crumbly. They just wouldn't stay in one piece.
Great recipe! I've made it many times. It's a quick breakfast or snack. YUM!
I love these bars! Easy and quick to make. I have shared these bars with others and they couldn't believe these were not store-bought. I agree with other posters: it is hard to keep the "bars" from crumbling apart but I have found putting them in the refrigerator before cutting them into bars helps. I also think this is a great recipe to tweak to your liking while keeping in mind the nutritional differences this makes to the overall recipe. Perfect for mid-afternoon snacks to hold you over until dinner or breakfasts on the run. Bil Omaha NE
Not sure I will make again I was disappointed when I made this. I should have read the previous reviews first. The bars did not stay together and I thought they were a bit bland and too sweet. I used corn syrup. Maybe if you use more peanut butter less corn syrup (or honey instead) and add some semi-sweet chocolate chips or something they would be better. I'm going to try using what I made as a granola with plain yogurt. Pros: No baking involved very easy to make Cons: Bars do not stay together too sweet for my taste
These are awesome. I did make modifications to use only what I had on-hand. Added 2 scoops of protein powder as suggested by another reviewer (mine was vanilla). Subbed in for items I didn't have: almonds for seeds 1/4c dark choc chunks for raisins chopped Cheerios for Rice Krispies. Possibly all of subs caused the dry and crumbly but storing them in the fridge does seem to help keep them together. Next time I will use a little more peanut butter to help them stick together. And I've got all the missing ingredients on my grocery list. So I'm not reviewing the recipe as written but this is a testiment to the versatility of the recipe. So good!
We loved these bars! So tasty and good for you. I substituted Cheerios for the rice cereal and since I didn't have any peanut butter I took whole almonds and made my own almond butter in my food processor. Instead of using raisins I cut up 1 cup of dried apricots and 1 cup of mixed fried fruit. These are very versatile as far as the ingredients go you can mix and match whatever you like. Really delicious! Gayle
These bars are great! Next time I will use more peanut butter and less honey as suggested by other reviewers Pros: Perfect energy for after my gym work out-quick pick me up. Cons: Bars don't stay together so they are hard to eat as a bar!
I have made these many times sometimes using different nuts and dried fruits. Today I didn't have rice krispies so I used cheerios instead. Also added a little coconut to the mix. YUMMY! This recipe always turns out great!
