I spread in 9 x 13 pan and thought the amount was just right and I promptly placed in the fridge to set. Once it reached a boil, I let it go about 30 seconds and removed from heat. I had no problems with the boiling of honey/sugar. 1 C peanut butter (I used 1 spoonful of chunky and the rest was PB Loco Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter). I ended up using 5 cups cereal (1 C honey nut cheerios & 4 C Alpha Bits). Per reviews, I decided to roughly multiply recipe by 1.5. I found this to be a much lower calorie version and just as tasty per my substitutions. It is one of my FAVORITE recipes, but is high calorie. I have made a very similar recipe that calls for 6 C cereal, 2 C PB, corn syrup instead of honey, uses brown sugar instead of white, and calls for a 12oz bag of chocolate chips. I didn't have any problems making it into bars, and I think this recipe is great for making gross but healthy cereals edible!ДЄlthough I made a few changes this time, I will definitely be making this again and will try it as written. On the second batch, I didn't remove the saucepan from the heat while adding the peanut butter and it made the liquid darker and thicker (not in a good way) so I would recommend not doing that.

Oh, also as soon as I made my first batch and was trying to press it into the pan it only filled up so I decided on the spot I wanted another batch. So, not only are these yummy, but they are lower-calorie and nutritious! These are one of my new favorite snacks and I will make them again and again.

The cereal made it HIGH FIBER (yay!) and the peanut butter also made it high in fiber and added protein and omega something. I used 1/4 cup of the splenda mix (you're supposed to use half the amount) so it turned out fairly low in sugar and carbs, other than the cereal. Because the cereal was already flavored honey, and because I ran out, I replaced the honey (other than a few tablespoons) with sugar-free syrup (it's so low-calorie!!!) Next batch I make will be with crunchy natural peanut butter (or the reduced-fat natural kind). and this recipe helped me get rid of my extra cereal! I found a few ways to make it healthier. (i can't remember the name, but it resembles Cheerios) Well, it was bland. During a high-fiber diet phase, I went and bought a box of Kashi Heart Healthy something.
