This is not at all the recipe from Jon and Kate plus 8, but it's good either way. I think I would make it with just rice krispies next time instead of the cheerios and just make them glorified rice krispy treats.

Not it.

Not even close, just saying you saw it on a popular show doesn't make it so. The J & K + 8 version has no peanuts or corn syrup, chocolate chips instead of "candy-coated" and has powdered sugar to coat it all.
