I had about 3 cups of Kashi wheat flake cereal to use up, plus about 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter. So I finished it off with chunky pb and used dark corn syrup as it was all I had. These did not stick together well (kind of crumbled apart) but tasted very good.

They actually used to print this recipe (or one similar) on the Special K box--but then I guess they realized that it's not a recipe conducive to losing weight... (especially since you can't eat just one). A fantastic topping (as though they weren't wonderful already): melt 3 oz butterscotch chips and 3 oz chocolate chips.
