Wow! These are good! I was a little skeptical while I was making them, I just knew that they would turn out to be a pile of mush, but they didn't!! It was a perfect blend of cereal and fruit!! Thanks for a great recipe that is an unlikely one!
I followed the recipe pretty much - used plain Cheerios and multi-grain Cheerios; raisins and dried berries; self-rising flour (because that's the only kind I ever buy) and natural applesauce.
Both of my kids even liked this! Okay, well picky 3-year-old just ate the Cheerios out of it, but hey.

I think this is definately great for kids but I like my cereal snacks crunchy & these were kind of moist & chewy. I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour instead of the full amount, which greatly helped the texture & taste. I couldn't really cut them into bars so I crumbled it up into a snack mix. I probably won't make this again, but thanks anyway for sharing!

I reformulated with the items in my pantry. I liked it, but will cut back on the brown sugar next time. I made them in the cupcake pan and had no problem with keeping them together. My 5 year old like the first one, but never wanted anymore. My 4 year old did not like it. I used 2 cups Kix cereal 1 box of 1.5oz raisins 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup of brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon dash of ground cloves 1/4 cup of Nestle Quick 1 1/4 tablespoons of butter 1/4 cup of toasted crushed walnuts

Easy little snack that is fairly healthy for the kids. I enjoyed them as did my 4 year old. My 2 year old did not. I used Crispix and kinda mashed them a bit as I was stirring. 20 minutes was all my bars needed to bake.
