This recipe is tasty and easy, but the butter-brown sugar-honey mixture is not strong enough to bind the cereal and marshmallow together into squares. I let it cool for over an hour and it still fell apart when "cutting". I recommend adding marshmallows to the pan when mixing the butter-brown sugar-honey mixture to help it stick better, like a rice krispy treat.
