Banana Nut Snack Bars

Submitted by senseicheryl

"I found this recipe on the www.cheerios.com website: "Stir up a whole-grain snack bar with new Banana Nut Cheerios® cereal in just 15 minutes. The chocolate drizzle is a sweet bonus." Tips from the kitchen Variation - Skip the chocolate drizzle, or use peanut butter chips instead of the chocolate chips.
