In reply to Katie S.. Hi Katie! Using regular rice crisp cereal will be fine. Hope you enjoy! :)

I can’t find a way to easily search through previous comments, so I am sorry if this has already been addressed. Is there a drawback to using regular rice crisp cereal vs brown rice cereal? (I am having a very difficult time finding a cost-effective brown rice crisp cereal.)

In reply to Deeanna Harris. So glad you enjoyed the crunchiness, Deeanna! I've found that really tightly packing the bars into the pan before baking helps a lot when it comes time to cut them. Hope this helps!

Finally a recipe that delivers the crunch factor. I have made many recipes and that failed miserably in the:
crunch
holds together
and taste departments

My only down point is that there is still some hold together issues. I will next time roughly cut the nuts and see wether that helps

In reply to Fatimah. Hi Fatimah, I'm so happy to hear you and your kiddo are enjoying my recipe! :) For the stickiness: try adding a few minutes of bake time, and allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. Otherwise, have you made any substitutions or adjustments to the recipe?

We love these in my house and I’ve made loads of different versions for my little boy! They’ve been coming out a bit sticky though – am I not cooking them for long enough? I’m following the quantities suggested so can’t work out what would be causing it otherwise. Any thoughts welcomed! Thanks.

In reply to Charlotte. Hi Charlotte! I've had other readers use honey, agave and brown rice syrup here with good results, so I'd say start there. Hope this helps! :)

Can you substitute maple/carob syrup for the pure maple? I’d just try it but I can’t afford to waste the ingredients if it doesn’t work! Pure maple is too expensive for me (am in the UK). Thanks.

In reply to D. Hi D, that might just work! You *may* need to reduce the oats by a small amount (a few tablespoons or so) because they're so absorbent, or you might not (depending on how quickly you move). Good luck & let me know how it turns out! :)
