with all that golden syrup, I felt that 200g sugar was too much so I halved the amount stated and they turned out just right for our taste. I used cheerios that I crushed a little simply because I needed to use them up. the whole family loved them. didn't use the peanut butter cups, I just added an extra tablespoon of peanut butter to the melted chocolate - 08 Apr 2014
Good idea. However taste just a syrup / sugar bar. Good overall idea but really needs alot less sugar. Way too much to handle. - 29 Jan 2018
We call these "Special K" bars, for the obvious reason, at our house. My recipe calls for 1 tsp of vanilla to be added with the peanut butter. If your bars are turning out hard, you are over cooking the sugar and syrup. Once that mixture boils, I remove the pan from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla. I also use butterscotch chips instead of peanutbutter ones. - 03 Jul 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
