Notes
May sub other puffed rice cereals or really any kind of cereal!
I'd recommend using "JIF style" peanut butter. If you use natural your bars may not be as firm depending on how runny your peanut butter is.
I like to make mine really big, so I cut into 9 squares, you can do smaller if you like.
