Very good and I kept eating it!! I had to substitute rice krispies for the quick oats because I can't eat oats. If you use rice krispies you will need less syrup or way more rice krispies

these are very addicting! I use butter in place of the margarine, also I increased the peanut butter to 1-1/4 cups and added in 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts, thank you for posting Sue, these will be thoroughly enjoyed and gone in a flash! made for KK's Tag game

Easy, Fast, & Tasty! I only made half the recipe. Instead of making balls I spread the mixture into a long sheet. Once cooled I cut into bars. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag Revised Review: After eating a few of these we have decide that they are too sweet for our taste. If I was to make again I would cut down on the brown sugar.

I needed something quick and easy to take to a picnic, and this fit the bill perfectly. Easy, quick, and tasted great! It was a big hit. The peanut butter flavor was delicious. Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 47

I gave this 5 stars for taste... I was disappointed because I had the same problem I always have with no bakes.. they didn't set up. These, like the others I have tried, were just little globs of mush that tasted wonderful! PLEASE HELP! If anyone knows what I am doing wrong please let me know. My hubby, kids and I love no bakes but I can't seem to get it right.
