Chewy Monkey Bars

Jess4Freedom's Note:

These are nice bars that are a little different from the regular crispy treats. I like the nutty flavor and all the different textures in them. You could very easily frost them with some melted chocolate chips too.

You're right...this is a nice variation to the normal rice krispie treat. I did omit the coconut per families preference. A nice chewy bar that went together in no-time. Thanks for the idea!~ Made for PRMR.
