    I didn't have any problems with these falling apart! I used half honey and half agave syrup. I also used brown rice... cereal--yummy!Read more

    Vegetarian, too!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made these for my vegetarian friends; they loved them! Treats made with marshmallow contain gelatin, which as an animal... product. This recipe is a tasty alternative. They are less likely to fall apart if pressed into the pan by placing parchment and a second pan on top and really pressing down. Cool completely (at least 30 minutes) in the refrigerator. I lined the pan with parchment and left the paper hanging over the edge. i lifted the entire piece out of the pan before cutting into individual portions.Read more

    I used the two pan pressing trick and these were great! I love peanut butter in anything! These reminded me of rice crispie... treats my mom made with butterscotch chips. Loved them!!!Read more

    Good but needs adjustment

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this the other day by memory and they came out great. Today, I came to get the recipe which I followed, and they are... falling apart... Last time I used more honey than peanut butter. So I would say up the honey by at-least 1/4 cup. or make sure that you don't go overboard with the PB and "underboard" with the honey (which I think I did) Also I made them (both times) using sunflower butter instead of peanut butter because of allergies. I used raisins instead of cherries. Perhaps an idea so they are not so sweet, is using tart cranberries instead. Maybe they'd be extra good by adding a pinch of cinnamon. Overall, very good taste.

    Kid pleasing and SOOO tasty!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Thank you so much Terry for the pressing tip! I do have 2 9x13 pans, and it worked out great. I have a 2 year old son that... doesn't like sweets all that much; strange, I know. I'm assuming that it's because we just don't usually have that stuff in the house. This recipe is great. It's SO much better for you than using a crap load of butter and marsh mellows, and it tastes heavenly. :) However, I replaced the cherries with chocolate chips, but I'll try it with the cherries too. Maybe even BOTH! Great job Ellie...you did it again. :) p.s. Terry's review suggests that after the mixture is in your dish, place parchment paper over it and press down reeeeeally hard. If you have an extra 9x13 pan, place that over the parchment paper, and put your whole body into it! Mine came out absolutely perfect.Read more
