Contrary to previous posters, I had no problems whatsoever with the crust consistency or getting them out of the pan. I followed the directions to a T, and they came out looking exactly like the picture! Very presentable when cut into triangles as pictured. They are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I made a second batch this evening - the first batch went as gifts. As to be expected, they are a bit crumbly because that's just what happens with the cereal. Do be sure to let them cool COMPLETELY before cutting and use your sharpest knife to get all the way through the crust without mutilating them. So good that I'd give them 6 stars if I could! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! :)
