I was disappointed! I made these for my 3 year son for a special treat for a picnic and I don't know if I did something wrong but the treats are about as hard as bricks. Unless they really soften up I don't think he'll be able to eat them. They were so chewy I was afraid that I was going to pull out a filling!

Correction: I added 1-1/4 cups of PB instead of 1 cup to the cheerios and 1/4 cup of pb to the chips.

First one was only ok--after that ---very addictive. The taste takes care of the chocolate, salt, and sweet cravings all in one. Oh yeah, after all that Cheerios good for cholesterol contol!

I needed something to make for a potluck of mine. Everyone snapped it up and there wasn't much left. Very good, but a little on the sticky side.
