These turned out real good. I also left out the coconut, since I only wanted a chocolate peanut butter flavor today. I used 1 c crisped rice cereal instead of the cherrios and it worked out great, 2 c would have been too much. And since I was lazy, I just pressed the pb mixture into a greased 8x8 pan and poured the chocolate mixture on top. This hit the pb chocolate craving perfectly and best of all it is one of the few dairy free recipes I could find for something like this. I will make again!

This is a great, easy recipe. I just made these with my 2 yr old and they turned out fabulous. I scaled the recipe in half and followed all directions exactly. They are sweet, but I don't think too sweet. You could always cut back on the sugar if you want. I would add 1/4 cup more flour next time since I live at high altitude. They would be great with different extracts. I would love to try lemon or orange. I used a tablespoon sized scoop and had to cook them about 12 minutes. I do think these cookies would be too sweet with a glaze on top, using the sugar or sprinkles was perfect for me. I can't stop eating them! EDITED 6 hrs after initial review to change from 4 to 5 stars. I can't stop eating these, they really are very, very good. I will have to make them again in a few days.

This is a great versital recipe! Perfect for camping. I used canned apple pie filling, no sugar since already sweetened but did add apple pie spice. And I used about 1/3 of a regular sized box of french vanilla cake mix. I used the 4 T of butter, sliced them thin and spread out on top of cake mix. I didn't have any dry spots. And my flame went out and I didn't realize so I took the top off a few times and had to relight the fire and it still came out great! I do think it would be better with peaches or even blackberries, I didn't care for the flavor of the particular brand of pie filling I bought. I really don't see how this recipe could be bad, since I totally screwed it up and it still came out great!
