Great Snack!

I made these the other day - I substituted Honey Nut Cheerios for Banana Nut. They were so quick and easy to make, and even easier to grab and go in a hurry!

all i can say is super yuuummm. the perfect grab n go snack. i made a few pans, wrapped individual bars in foil and placed in a bowl in the kitchen to grab as we r running out the door for swim lessons! it holds us over until we get home and i don't feel guilty for eating them like i do a candy bar. :)
