These turned out terrific. The original recipe says it makes 28 but I am thinking it makes more like 16……They are really yummy though and I suppose you could cut them whatever size you prefer. I like them as a nice hardy breakfast on the go!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter (original recipe says crunchy but I like creamy)
1/4 cup Earth Balance
4 cups Quick Oats (not rolled oats) (I actually used a combination of rolled oats and quick steal cut oats and it gave it a nice texture.
2 cups crispy rice cereal
3 teaspoons vanilla
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, stir crispy rice cereal, oats together.
In a medium saucepan, combine honey, Earth Balance, peanut butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then bring the temperature down to low, and simmer till sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot mixture over dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are moistened. Press into  a 13 x9. Let cool then slice up!
