Of course they aren't that bad for you, because they are a one bite morsel! 24 bars out of a 9" pan is riduculously tiny.

This is a really yummy recipe. I use Honey Nut Cherrios instead of banana and sometimes a mixture of cherrios and bran flakes. Great recipe. Not too sweet.

I made these the other day - I substituted Honey Nut Cheerios for Banana Nut. They were so quick and easy to make, and even easier to grab and go in a hurry!
