My big brother used to make me these when I was in school. I just loved them. Now that I have kids, I called him to find out how to make those and he had forgotten. I am so glad to see this recipe here!!!

This recipe is excellent! Do yourself a snacking favor and try it out! Make a 1/2 recipe if you aren't sure - that is what I did at first. Then I went on to make batch after batch. These freeze well too. Make them and then cut them into bars and place in a zip up freezer bag and freeze. They can be eaten almost straight from the freezer. Terrific energy food and pick-me-up!

This was so easy to put together and had a great taste. The peanut butter and honey are so delicious together. Be sure you like Grape Nuts cereal if you're going to try these because they do have a unique crunch and taste. I preferred them at room temperature rather than straight out of the refrigerator. Thanks for posting this great snack bar recipe!
