I just made these with some low fat granola cereal my family wasn't too fond of. Wow! They like them, they really like them. I halved the recipe and left out the salt (on purpose) and vanilla (accidentally) and they still taste great.

These are quick and easy to make and the guys in my house told me I needed to make more already (they've only had one a piece). My batch made 2 1/2 dozen.

I made mine on the stovetop (only simmered it for 2 minutes) and threw in some chocolate chips at the last minute and they were fabulous! Love how crunchy they were and that there was no a lot of saturated fat yet felt very sinful thanks to all the sugar. Big hit with friends too. A great summer treat that really feeds a crowd.

These were so easy to make and delicious! Having made rice krispies the same way, the key is to not over cook your syrup and sugar! Over cooking leads to rock hard cookies! I added another cup of cereal to get a better consistency and some small semi sweet chocolate chips (about a cup). For cook timing, I used my 700W microwave and only cooked the mixture for 2 minutes. Keep in mind that if you can do this quickly the mixture won't be too hard to stir together and much easier to spoon out onto your wax paper.

I made these today for my son and they turned out perfectly! I doubled the recipe and still cooked it for only abour 4 minutes in the microwave. I think that may be the problem for the users who had trouble with the cookies getting too hard was that the mixture was overcooked in the microwave either due to high wattage microwave or cooking too long, which would make the sugar's temp. reach more of a hard candy stage versus the soft ball/caramely stage that these are supposed to be.

Easy. I took them to work and got rave reviews. I did add about an extra cup of cereal and I used post toasties. It's a keeper.

I added a little cocoa powder and then put the melted product into a 9x9 baking dish. Then I added chocolate chips on the top and melted them. Very yummy bars! Note:the stovetop works just as fine, for people who do not want to use a microwave

I made these with splenda and reduced fat peanut butter. I also mixed in some cocoa powder. For being a lower fat/sugar version, they were pretty darn good!

Very Good. I remember these from when I went to Indiana University in Bloomington and would get them at the Student Union between classes. They taste better if you add 1/2 cup more cereal. Make sure you use good quality peanut butter.
