My husband and I put these in our lunch, but they're also a nice portable breakfast or snack. They're quick, store well and easy to keep on hand. —Sharon Rast, Show Low, Arizona

As is the recipe is so unhealthy. I used organic brown crisp rice cereal, 1/2 cup maple syrup instead of the unhealthy corn syrop, natural nut butter, and some carob chips. We need to stop using corn syrup!

This recipe cut into 32 bars is more usable by diabetics and children and non-athletictype people. Cutting into 16 bars, can't see how anyone would get 18 bars out of a 9x9 panful, is just too many carbs and calories. Cut into 32 bars and adding a4 oz serving of yogurt or small fresh fruit is showing healthy wisdom in your choices.

Good! The only things I did different was reduce the brown sugar (1/4 cup) & used agave nectar instead of corn syrup. Next time I might try honey instead of the nectar just to switch it up. Also used an all natural no sugar added peanut butter.

I was looking for a more healthy snack for my kids when I found this. Not only is it simple & fast to prepare but is YUMMY! Huge hit with my kiddos. We put ours in the fridge for a "cold' treat and they can't get enough! We will be making this again very soon!

Just made these for the 2nd time. Wanted to say that I substituted 1/2 the corn syrup with honey and cut the brown sugar to 1/3 cup. I added sunflower seeds, craisins, pumpkin seeds, and chocolate chips. These are very good! And still alot better for you than the store bought ones full of preservatives.

These are delicious and easy BUT they are so unhealthy! We need to alter the amount of brown sugar and corn syrup. They are dessert not a healthy snack.
