I made this today with Honey Nut O-shaped cereal and reduced the butter to about 1/2 cup. Turned out well!

I regularly have these ready as an after school snack for my bunch. I cut the butter to 1/4 cup and omit the nuts because of a nut allergy. I add 1/3 cup or so of flax seed for the added nutrition. Believe it or not the seeds are a great addition, and my picky eaters approve.

This is wonderful. I had some cornflakes to use up and I never would have thought of adding almonds or coconut. It turned out lovely. I used 1/2 cup of butter.

I made something similar in highschool, but with sugar instead of marshmellows. This is much nicer! I will definitely make this again (using only 1/4 cup of butter though).

A very nice tasting recipe. A little soggy even though I added extra cornflakes and cut the butter back to 1/4 cup. I threw in a handful of chopped marashino cherries that I had blotted dry and then finely diced.It looked very festive and tasted great.

My family and friends loved this. I did finely chop the almonds (better to hide the nuts!)and I added some almond extract with the final ingredients. For a variety I will omit the coconut once in a while-even though I love it. These remind me of a bar/square I used to get when I was little and my family would venture every few years into L.A.'s Chinatown. How I loved them (they didn't have coconut), now I can make them at home!! Yum yum

Added chocolate chips for the chocolate lovers in the house and some vanilla! Reducced butter to 1/4 cup as suggested by another review. Yummy and very crunchy! Super easy and a fast treat to make in a hurry!

I agree that 3/4 c was too much butter, and wonder if it might have been a typo? I used 1/4 c like I use in the Rice Krispy treats, and it worked great. It would have been a mess and soggy if I'd used all of it. As for the rest of the recipe: Yummy! I loved the coconut. It's a nice break from the tradition Rice Krispy recipe. Good recipe!

These are so good. If you want something a bit different than rice crispies then you have got to try these. Thank you for such a great treat.

Where did I go wrong? These bars are way too soggy for me. Seems like a lot of butter for the amount of other ingredients. If I make these again, I will cut back quite a bit on the butter. I agree with another reviewer that a 9 x 9 pan would work better.

Holy camoly - these are the best squares I've ever had. I made them for a family gathering (and my family is huge!) every single aunt, my sisters, and my grandmothers got the recipe from me. We had a huge variety of squares and they were the only ones that got completely eaten.

Although not as good as a rice crispy, we still thought these were quite tasty. To be on the safe side, I gave the pan a quick shot of butter-flavored spray oil and did the same with my spatula to make spreading in the pan easier. I think next time I would use a 9" square pan because it spreads out quite thin in the 9" x 13" pan. Thanks, Rob!
