My kids love this recipe. I use honey instead of corn syrup. I also double the amount of honey, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla. It makes the mixture more chewy. Instead of raisins, the kids wanted dried mixed berries. We will definitely keep this recipe for use again. Thanks!

Really good - and FUN - to make with the kiddos. I substituted agave nectar for the corn syrup. You could also use honey as a substitute too. I made 1/2 the batch drizzled with a little chocolate sauce (semi-sweet choc chips, butter, vanilla) for a less healthy version, and I must say it was so delish! Thanks!!

Extremely yummy! I haven't been able to wait for them to finish cooling off and setting up yet, but they're delicious already! This is definitely going to be a regular snack/dessert for us.

I made these and shared them at work. Everyone loved them, especially this one guy, so for his next birthday I made him a batch. He was very happy! Very simple and versatile...I like to add different things each time like sunflower seeds, goji berries and wheat germ.

These were excellent. I did make a little extra of the binding ingredients. I added coconut and some other nuts.

So easy, very good to eat. My family loved them. After I made these a few times, I changed things up a bit. It is easy to switch things in and out of this recipe.

These were easy and tasty. Instead of rice krispies I used 1 cup of Total and 1 cup of Kashi Go Lean and 1/2 cup of puffed brown rice. These cereal choices make for a healthier snack as far as nutrients go. Really you could do many variations with this is your base!

Brown Rice Suryp is the biggest change I would make I eliminate any added sugar and just replace the corn suryp for Brown Rice Suryp. I make a triple recipe each week for my family and we love them but if you want to make them much healthier, get some brown rice suryp from the health food isle, it's expensive but worth it! Thanks for sharing, love these!

I made these today because the recipe reminded me of something a relative used to make when I was a kid. As it turns out, I didn't like it much then OR now. However, I think that's my personal taste coming to bear--they're not bad, I just don't like the flavor of the corn syrup mixture. Some people suggested using honey, but then complained that it was too sweet...that's because honey is much sweeter than corn syrup. Also some of the "most helpful" comments suggest "replacing the oil with honey" but there's no oil in this recipe. It also doesn't tell you what to do with the raisins. I think this recipe may have gotten re-written at some point. Someone else even mentioned eating these "straight out of the oven", but there's no cook time listed! Thanks for the recipe.

Very good, made them 3X now. I used 1/2 apple sauce and 1/2 honey for the syrup. Added craisins, almonds 1/4c of wheat germ and 1/4c of ground flax. Important to role and squish recipe together as it cools to hold together tight.

Pretty good! I didn't have rice crispies so I used honey nut cherrios. Still turned out great. I used honey instead of karo syrup & I used 2/3 cup for all the wet ingredients! They still came out a bit crumbly though. NOt dry, but they just didn't stick together too well. I also added a 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. lemon juice & 1/2 tsp.cinnamon. Made it really yummy!

These are really yummy! I used crushed M&Ms and they were a hit. Only complaint was that arround the edges it was more crumbly that I would have liked. I did use honey instead. Seems much better than corn syrup.

These were very good. My 7 year old and her very picky friend made these and loved them. My daughter's friend liked them so much that she ate two and took two home. Next time I will try some of the reviewer suggestions, such as using honey in the place of corn syrup and dried cranberries.

Found the granola bars to be a bit too sweet, so next time I will probably use less sugar. Did as over reviewers suggested and used honey in the place of corn syrup. Added dried cranberries along with rasins, pecans, and coconut flakes.

Yum! Used organic Koala crisp for the rice cereal. Used regular oats. Subbed honey for the corn syrup. They are very good. I don't think we will buy them from the store anymore they are so easy to make and I can use organic ingredients (since I can't get organic granola bars where I live).

Mmmm, very tasty! I don't like using corn syrup because of the high fructose in it, so I used agave nectar instead. I did have a bit of a crumbly problem but not too bad. I think next time I will use more peanut butter to help them stick together more and to get more PB taste. I think I'll also add ground flaxseed next time for extra health. I love how easy this was to put together, too, and no baking. Thanks Tinamaries!

These were okay. I modified a bit based on other reviews and used half honey and half corn syrup. I also used brown sugar Spenda and craisins. I added about 3/4c lightly salted mixed nuts. I still thought they were too sweet, but my husband likes them.
