Can I use HoneyBunches cereal for granola?

[tkrollmom]

We are a family of 7 who spend every summer night at the ballpark. I'm trying to be thrifty and make good, healthy snacks we can toss in the bag to take with us. We love Honey Bunches of Oats and thought it would be great in a bar. I will experiment, but found this forum and thought I might be able to get some good ideas here.

Thanks,

Hi Tonia,

Here is a recipe from Farm Journal's Homemade Snacks, Nell B. Nichols, Doubleday & Co, Inc., 1976

Peanut Cereal Bar Cookies

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups high-protein cereal flakes

Combine sugar and corn syrup in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, stirring until well blended. Pour over cereal. Toss to coat evenly. Spread in buttered 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Cool. Cut in 2 x 1 1/2 inch bars. Makes 3 dozen.

Note: You may want to keep in mind that this recipe calls for an unsweetened cereal when you try experimenting with the Honey Bunches of Oats your family enjoys.

Hope your family enjoys the games! :-)
