These are awesome, if the chocolate drizzle is too thick just add a tablespoon of canola oil and it will thin out. Easy to make and tasty! Easy to transport too!

I made a few "tweaks" to suite my tastes...substitute Honey Nut Cherrios, golden raisens, UNsalted dry roast peanuts,low fat peanut butter & dark chocolate chips...SUPER terrific...Thanks for the basic start for this receipt!!

We definitely will make again. My husband loved them even though he would never eat a bowl of chocolate cheerios. Easy and quick to make. Yummy!!!

I have made this about four times. It was a great success. I have been taking it for treats at my grandchildren's baseball games. The only change I made, was I didn't put the raisins or peanuts in. Still wonderful. Will keep on making them.
