Overall, I thought these cereal bars were just okay. They were easy to make, but I didn't find them to be particularly flavorful.

These bars were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found these bars to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll use a less sugary cereal.
