THESE ARE THE BOMB!! No bake, takes like no time at all to whip up, takes a bit to cool, but then dig in!! The first time I made them, I thought they were more honey than peanut butter tasting, so the second time I made them I halved the honey and sugar, but then they were too gooey, not sticky enough, so I had to quickly make another 1/2 batch of honey and sugar mix to pour over top of cereal, peanuts and peanut butter... then quickly mixed while keeping everything over low heat. Next time I might trying to do half honey half corn syrup to ease the honey flavor just a tad and bring out the peanut butter flavor a bit more. Otherwise these are still very exceptional. I just have one daughter who's not very big on the taste of honey and would prefer more PB tastes. I love how easy these are to make, and serve!!

Excellent recipe! I recommend using a 'honey bunches of oats' type of cereal (I use the Kroger brand) and adding some quinoa flakes (about 1/2 cup) for added nutrition and fiber. My family of 3 will eat a double recipe during the course of a day!

I made these and loved them. I used honey nut Cheerios and added walnuts and raisins. It was a little too sweet so next time I will just use plain cheerios

I found it to have a bit too much coating, so I ended up adding about another cup of cheerios. I also followed what another review said and boiled the sugars for a little longer to promote hardening at room temp. Overall a good recipe, just needed some tweaks for us. I think I could get away with adding even more cereal next time, as some of the coating still went to the bottom. Maybe a few rice crispies to soak up some extra and fill in the cracks. :)

I WAS sure I was not going to be the "game day" hero today but I made these for the pre game party.....HAHA!! I AM THE WOMAN .....everyone loved them, and you can tweak this bar to anyway you want too. GREAT WAY to use up the bottom of the bag no one wants. LOVED THEM.

I don't know what I did wrong, but these turned to rocks once they cooled.

Delicious and very simple and fast to make. We have a peanut allergy, so I left out the peanut butter. It turned out beautifully, even so! A healthier change from the marshmallow based recipes. (Nothing artificial here!)

Yummy...it turned out a bit too sweet for me, too sweet for a to-go breakfast bar. I'm gonna eat this batch for dessert. Next time I'm gonna cut out some sugar.

Excellent! I used Chocolate Cheerios and added chocolate chips and this turned out fantastic. I also made the recipe with plain cereal. Both went over well with the family.
