*The pictures above show a variation of the recipe. I used Cheerios instead of Rice Krispies. I also substituted raisins for the mini marshmallows and left off the topping. I used the oatmeal rather than granola cereal to cut a little sugar. I stuck mine in the fridge to speed up chow time! ;) Really EASY! I think you could easily use what you have on hand so long as your proportions stay constant and you use the first three ingredients as your constant binding adgent! Have fun and experiment!
