Yummy!!!
I made these today and I loved them, I do think that they are a little sweet and I used half of the brown sugar. I used Almonds and I think that next time I will use half the honey and add some raisins! Love them though!!!

These are very good! I used walnuts because I already had them. My husband thought they were too sweet, so I am going to halve the sugar and honey next time. Great for breakfast or afternoon snack.

Great for Snacking
i made these the other day and they were great. i left out the nuts since i am not a big fan and they came out great. perfect for a small snack to help keep you going.

Love these
Crispy and chewy at the same time! The second time I made these, I cut up the dried apples with a scissors in smaller pieces. That made them stick together better when I cut them into squares. Don't smash the cereal too much. I added golden raisens which gave it great color and more chewy. If they do fall apart, just eat like granola! Oh... I added some chocolate chips on the second batch. YUM. One box of cereal made 2 batches.

Yummy!
This recipe is excellent! I made it with all the ingredients it said, but not so many apples. Everyone I've shared this recipe with loved it! You can substitute any nut you like or use none- the cereal with the peanut butter is tasty- I also use all organic peanut butter.

Yum!
These are so delicious & much more nutritious than your average homemade cereal bar. I omitted the sugar & used 2 packets of SweetNLow instead; it was plenty sweet with the honey. Next time I will try it w/o it altogether. I substituted Kashi cereal & roasted almonds because that is what I had on hand...I think the ingredients in this recipe can easily be modified and still taste great.
