Yes, they ARE sweet! I adore them, though. I didn't have butterscotch chips, so I substituted white choc. chips, and I used three cups of frosted flakes like other reviewers recommended. They were awesome! If you have an aversion to sweetness, use the regular corn flakes. I bought some toffee chips, so I'm going to make a batch using those right now!!!

From the previous reviews this recipe was too sweet. So, I added regular cheerios to the frosted flakes to tone down the sugar. It was very runny so that's where I added about 2 cups cheerios. I put in the refrigerator for ~10 mins to make harden. It has to be kept "cool" to keep from falling apart. I wonder if marshmallows would make stick together? Hmmm!! Love this recipe thanks for the idea!

These are great! I made mine with chocolate chips and gluten-free corn flakes. This recipe is soo easy to make gluten free. Thanks!

I made these with regular corn flakes. They were very sweet but good. They need to stay chilled or they get melty.

I didn't have corn flakes, so I used Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters. I picked most of the raisins out and made most of the batch with just the bran flakes, but I did make a few with the raisins just to try. I used all-natural peanut butter also. I am looking for more healthy snacks for my 2 year old son and trying to sneak more fiber into his diet to help with his digestive issues. These came out great, and I don't mind letting him have the cookies for lunch! Just like a peanut butter sandwich minus all the bad-for-you bread! He gets the fiber he needs, plus the raisins for a fruit, and the peanut butter for protein! Greatest part, besides the fact that he loves them, is that they only take minutes to make!

Overly sweet for my taste but it was a good way to use frosted flakes. Used chunky peanut butter.

There is NO way this could have turned out like the pictures with the current ratios. I notice that everyone else revealed in their reviews also that the amount of corn flakes needed to be increased significantly (I used 3cups). I also agree with others that its a little more balanced with regular corn flakes then frosted.

Super sweet, but sooo good. I use 2.5 cups of plain cornflakes, plus a handful of raisins, and a handful of chopped pecans. Great for a party, the recipe made so much I had to give them away to stop eating them.

I followed some user suggestions and did 1 cup PB and 1 bag butterscotch chips. I poured in frosted flakes till I thought the consistency was what I wanted so I don't know how many cups that was. I had to put them in the fridge to set up but it was worth it. They are fantastic and so easy to make. A great little item to take to work.
