Too small
Of course they aren't that bad for you, because they are a one bite morsel! 24 bars out of a 9" pan is riduculously tiny.

Better than candy
This is a really yummy recipe. I use Honey Nut Cherrios instead of banana and sometimes a mixture of cherrios and bran flakes. Great recipe. Not too sweet.

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. :)
