These are sooo tasty! I deviated slightly from the recipe because I only had creamy peanut butter. Afraid the cereal mixture might not be crunchy enough, I then reduced the peanut butter to 1-1/2 cups and added 1/2 c finely chopped peanuts. I also added 2 T peanut butter to the melted chocolate chips and after spreading sprinkled more chopped peanuts on top. These bars were a hit with the entire family.

It is like a supercharged rice kris pies treat!

Very different and very tasty, now I know how to make peanut butter candy. I think the chocolate might be just a shade better with some melted butter and whipping cream mixed in. I can't get over how I can't tell there are corn flakes in it once it's made. The texture is similar to Butterfingers. I wouldn't say this is a clone of O'Henry but if 18 pieces were cut out and dipped separately into melted chocolate, it might be more convincing. It sure tasted good, though!

These wonderful treats are definately worthy of the soon to be famous "HOLY COW" rating! :D How can you not like something so wonderful? DH, who normally says, "Good", when asked how something is, was speechless. These were super easy to make, too - a definate bonus! Thanks, CoffeeB - I'm glad you shared this one!
