I like to make them with natural peanut butter (nothing but ground peanuts)...you don't get any of the additional sugar or oils. The honey adds enough sweetness. And I use Cheerios instead of a rice cereal to add fiber and healthy whole grain.

Excellent for school lunches--and for the Mom who made them, too!

I made the bars with almond butter since my son cannot have peanuts. It was a great (although more expensive) substitute. We really liked them--it's a great protein source for breakfast if you're short on time.

My Home Group Bible Study loved them - adults and children alike Really easy to make but found the dry milk powder expensive and not available in small quantities. At least now I will have plenty on hand for the next time I make them, which is very soon!

This is excellent. I added to the recipe some butterscotch bits. One could also add shredded cocoanut, chocolate chips and even raisens. My teenager friend loved them!!

Taste was good...but they fell apart as soon as you took a bite. Did not like that at all!

I made these and they came out OK. I would suggest using creamy peanut butter instead, it would make them moister, but overall they where a great snack!

Remember that most reduced fat products are higher in sodium & often times other preservitives
