These bars were okay. They were sweet and crunchy, but didn't have any distinct flavor.

Had no problems with these hardening whatsoever! My husband thinks they're just glorified cereal bars, but my sons love them. Will make again.

I could not get these bars to harden. They seemed very dry so I added more of the peanut butter & corn syrup mixture but still did not work well.
