Chocolate Dream Bars

Submitted by HappyMommy1422

"These are my favorite bar cookies that can be altered to what you have in the pantry. The recipe calls for any type of dry cereal but I really must insist you use Grape Nut Flakes. I think they're the best. I usually use walnuts and chocolate chips."

These sound exactly like my mom's peanut butter dream bars! We make these every year for Chirstmas! I use the grape nut flake cereal too, crushed. I also use 6oz. of peanut butter chips, and 6 oz. of semi-sweet chips. Oh, and no nuts. They can be very difficult to pry out of the pan, so I put parchment paper down and then just pull that out and cut them easier. These are excellent, sweet bars!
