Peanut Butter Caramel Bites (Gluten-Free Vegan Snickers)

I found this recipe posted on the Vegan Fitness forums when I was searching for a recipe for homemade vegan Snickers. I adapted it to American measurements. Don't expect these to last long. Experiment with some of the add-ins (peanuts are great) and with the type of cereal (we prefer the Health Valley brand of rice chex and corn chex). They're also good with melted chocolate on the top.
