Almond Butter Honey Nut O's Bars
"This just came to me in an email from Cascadian Farms and I am posting it here for safekeeping. The recipe is credited to Shaina Olmanson. I found them rather sweet, so I will probably reduce the honey/sugar. Instead of making a drizzle I just added chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into the mixture, which was yummy but again added to the sweetness. Experiment! Let me know what you change to make it work for your family :). Time does not include cooling time."

I made quite a few changes to the recipe and I am happy with them all. I used half regular cheerios and then half honey nut, decreased the honey to 1/3 cup and only used 1/4 cup brown sugar. I also added 1/4 cup ground flax seeds to boost the health factor and subbed fresh ground peanut butter for the almond butter. I just drizzled the top with chocolate which was a nice touch. Even with all those changes, I still think they are a tad too sweet for me. . .but of course my son loved them! Sending them to preschool with him in the morning!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
