Delicious!! Followed recipe as is using rice crispies cereal. I put in frig just until choc was firm enough to cut. A little difficult cutting into cereal but well worth the effort. Will follow advice to take karo off heat as soon as it boils next time. Humid here, so I keep them in the frig. Sooo good. Will make again for sure.

Thanks for a great recipe. I had bars like this years ago and was looking for the recipe since. I think the original ones I had used Golden Grahams cereal but the Special K was great too. Made a wonderful contribution to the bake sale!

Im rating it four because of all the sugar! wow! I only used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2cup corn syrup and maybe 3Tbs of honey. That compbined with the peanut butter and chocolate gives it pleanty of stick, no need for all the rest of the sugar. Great way to use up odds and ends cereal though! I used up some Honey Bunches and Fiber One's version of Honey Bunches. Also couldn't find peanut butter chips so I took another reviewers advice and used butter-scotch chips. Great for a grab and go breakfast!

Wow! These are such tasty treats. I used 4 cups of Rice Krispies and 3 cups of Bran Flakes. Thanks for the advice to cut them before refrigerating them.

Not difficult to make, and the taste was good, but these were as hard as rocks. You could do serious damage to your teeth with these cereal bars. Sorry!

I have used brown sugar which is great, too. Also, whatever cereal you have. Even mix and match. I like to use corn flakes, rice krispies, and Special K. Smashing the cereal makes it good. And I don't prefer to frost them, but butterscotch chips with chocolate chips is a good mix. Another tip is to put a few mini-chocolate chips into the cereal mixture when stirring. It makes a swirl effect which adds a little chocolate but not so much as the frosting.

I used 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 1/2 cups corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups peanut butter, and 6 cups speacial K cereal. Remove sugar mixture from heat AS SOON AS it begins to boil. PRESS the cereal mixture into the pan. For the topping use 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips, and 1/3 cup peanut butter.

I should have used my better judgement and omitted the melted chocoate. It was so messy and sugary that I couldn't package these for school like I hoped. I liked the blend of Cheerios, Crispies and Chocolate Cripies which was also handy for using up nearly empty boxes of ceral in the pantry. These are very satisfying. They filled me up and satisfied my sweet tooth. My son came home asking for them every day until they were gone. The bars were hard as a rock from the fridge but softened up within 5 minutes on the counter. Worth trying, but I think these were too sweet and messy for us to make again.

These were great. My family loved them. My only problem was I couldn't stay away and I'm on a diet! These will be great for picnics, boating, and anytime you need a quick sweet snack.

I used Rice Krispies instead of Special K cereal to make them more like scotcheroos and a jelly roll pan instead of a 9x13 to make them flatter. I suggest doubling the chips for the topping because 1 cup each doesn't give a whole lot of room for spreading.

I'd never had cereal bars and I'd never made them but these were fantastic! Everyone loved them, I even served them to my knitting group and everyone really enjoyed them. Thanks! Oh and I didn't have peanut butter chips so I melted 3/4 cup of peanut butter and 1/4 cup of sugar with my semi-sweet chocolate chips for the topping - so good!

I used up 3 types of cereals that our family wouldn't finish. Honey bunches of oats, kix and smart start (bran flakes), and they just loved them! We think they are especially good warm. I drizzled them with chocolate and only used the chocolate chips (no peanut butter chips). I doubled the recipe and I'm glad I did, they are already asking when I'll make them again!

Not what I was hoping for! I thought the Karo (?) made the cereal way too sticky and chewy. The choc topping sat on top rather than melting down into the cereal, which I didn't expect either. I did get a recipe from a friend for something similar, just using choc/butterscotch/pb chips and cereal - nothing else. They turned out great- nice and crispy. Sorry!

WOW! These are so much better than rice crispy bars it isn't even funny. I used a combination of cereals I had left over including Kashi Mighty Kids and chex. These are beyond addictive. I didn't have any trouble cutting them thanks to the suggestion another reviewer gave to remove the corn syrup mixture quickly.

I have been looking for this recipe for a long time and finally found it!! I would suggest using more cereal, though, as when I used Cheerios, I increased the amount to 8 cups, and still had the gooey peanut butter stuff pooling at the bottom. My kids loved them even though, and so did I!
