I added granola with banana and sliced almonds, as well as a little ground flax seed. Turned out very good. Great breakfast food.

This recipe is so quick, easy and delicious! My entire family loved it, and it is a wonderful and healthier alternative to the usual Rice Crispy treats. The chocolate drizzle is a bonus. I actually put the melted chocolate in a snack-sized ziplock bag and cut the tip, to make it easier to drizzle.
