Tasted great, wonderful combination of ingredients. Next time I would increase the amount of honey, brown sugar and peanut butter mixture by 1 1/2. As is there wasn't enough to hold the cereal and fruit mixture together in firm bars. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Am always on the lookout for another great recipe that'll make a tasty bar, & this one does it! With all the crunchies on the ingredient list, I decided to go with extry crunchy peanut butter as well, & the bars were very nice!
