Submitted by Chef #1261052

"These are fantastic, Quick easy and so much better then store boughten. If mixture seems liquidy still add more of whichever dry ingredients you like. I ussually add approx even amounts of granola and rice krispies and use the oats to thicken. Dont be afraid to mix this up some. Leave out the peanut butter and add dried fruit, or cocnut, or top with marshmallows and chocolate chips."
