Used Agave Nectar (6 or 7 oz) instead of corn syrup (1 cup). It made plenty of syrup to coat the dry ingredients. Taking these on an annual kayak trip and they are going to be a hit.

What an awesome way to "bake" in the summer. No oven and something sweet and delicious coming out of a pan! I love this recipe for that reason and the peanut butter makes it satisfying.
