We used our hands to mix the ingredients because the spoon was becoming a nuisance. He absolutely loved making them and they tasted amazing. All three of my children at them up (even my pickiest eater) and even Daddy liked them. I have recommended this super easy recipe to all my friends!! I made these with my 5 year old.

I cut the half sheet pan into 40 bars and the calorie count is 127 per bar. Thanks for this great recipe! They are very chewy and I look forward to using this recipe in the future! PS--I would omit the coconut next time...it's too much with the chocolate and the peanut butter for my taste. Calorie count W/O the coconut is 124 per bar. Okay…They turned out wonderfully!

I made a few modifications--recipe follows: 5 cups oats 1 cup rice crispies 1/2 cup coconut 1 cup regular chocolate chips, chopped finer 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla I mixed the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Then in small bowl: melt the butter and add all remaining ingredients and whisk together. Then pour liquid over dry and mix well. Spread mixture into a sprayed half sheet pan ( or 2 9x13 pans) with parchment on botton of pan. Bake 350 for 20 minutes. The original recipe is wonderful! I just wanted to try some different things. The mixing went great--they just came out of the oven and I can't wait to taste them! I'll update after I try them on the overall flavor and texture!
