these were good, and my toddler liked them. I think an extra cup of cereal and pressing that into an 8x8 dish would be better then trying to handle these sticky balls. They also need to be refridgerated in order to firm abit.

A quick no-bake snack. Our school is peanut free so I substituted cashew butter and dried cranberries. I find these quite sweet and would reduce the honey somewhat.

well; im not sure where "honey" falls on the vegan issue but i have a jar of "raw honey" that i ordered from a vegan foods company and it states "vegan" on the label everywhere, including the ingredients so that one may be on the line. i did, however, use it in this recipe for my daughter who loved them. i followed the easy recipe but used cruchy peanut butter so i didnt add any extra nuts and went a bit less on the cinnamon as she isnt too fond of it. thanks for the great recipe!

Okay, everybody knows honey isn't vegan. You could use light Karo or Lyle's Golden Syrup instead. If you can get Lyle's, it's the best honey substitute. I find it at World Import Market. A little pricey but worth it to a vegan!
