I made this recipe only I did my slightly different. I used all the ingredients only instead of using Planters nutrition antioxidant mix and the creamy peanut butter I just used 1 jar of Planter's nutrition banana granola peanut butter and it was amazing. I'm going to make more only I may use the other Planter's Nutrition Peanut Butter. Great recipe!!!

Super delicious! The peanut butter, honey,and brown sugar mixture really brings this all together and makes it seem like such an indulgence! It was a little bit crumbly, but held together pretty well. I added chocolate chips and raisins. I can't wait for my kids to come home from school and taste this snack :)

Delicious! Not to dry or dense at all. Did not add the anti-ox mix due to having little boys who do not care for dried fruits. Much better than store bought which have lots of "extras." Everyone loved them!

Delicious! Of course I added the chocolate chips. Rice Krispies are fine, but Cheerios have 3 grams of fiber per cup and taste great. I use a spoonful more honey and Peanut butter to combat the crumblies. Also, I cut 32 into bars and individually wrap in foil. Keep in refrig for an easy to grab snack to put in your pocket or purse when you're on the go.

Really good. It is easy to make and with imagination, with different healthy options.

These were very dense - too dense. No one wanted to eat them. The flavor was fine, but they were like bricks.

They were a little crumbly & next time I might up the wet ingredients. I substituted dried apricots & used chocolate chips. I'm putting them in the fridge to see if that helps firm them up. They were so yummy & there might not be any left for my kids! LOL

I made a few adjustments to this recipe. I used half a cup of cinnamon raisin peanut butter and the other half was whipped peanut butter. I chose craisins instead of nuts. They came out so good and really chewy! I think it would have been better to use a smaller pan so they would have been packed together a little better, but they taste amazing!

These seriously tasted like candy & I could've eaten the entire pan myself. I added mini chocolate chips, raisins, craisins, dried apricots, apples, bananas & used Smart Start cereal instead of rice krispies. If adding the extra fruit, increase the amount of pb, honey & brown sugar. Use a potato masher to press in pan.
