My son and I made these today and they were super easy to make. I was surprised at how peanut buttery they tasted. The light hint of grape jelly was a nice twist. I didn't have raisins so I used 2 bags of chocolate covered raisins. I also left out the peanuts because neither of us likes peanuts whole. Next time I think I'll also leave out the raisins. He didn't like them and they just serve to raise my blood sugar. I also substituted multi grain cheerios instead of regular. My only beef is they need to be refrigerated to set up solid. I will be making this recipe over and over and will try different kinds of jelly and different additions.

These bars were very simple to make, but they just fell apart. The bars turned into more of a trail mix. They tasted good but i was disappointed they didn't stay together.
