These look very yummy. I like the use of the bran cereal to healthify it.

Readers may prefer to use fresh homemade pumpkin puree instead of the processed kind. Here's how: http://cookingripe.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/homemade-pumpkin-puree/

These were awesome, but I used kashi go lean since I did not have any fiber one cereal. I also cut the sugar down to just 1 cup, which was the perfect amount of sweetness. Loved them!
