I found this great recipe for a great snack bar. I've eaten an entire thing of this and have had no problems. It's super easy to make too. I thought I would share it, if anyone was interested.
Chex® Apple-Almond Bars
Prep Time:20 min Start to Finish:1 hr 20 min makes:16 bars
4 cups Cinnamon Chex® or Rice Chex® cereal 2/3 cup chopped dried apples 1/2 cup sliced almonds (I ground mine up in the food processor) 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries 1 tablespoon butter or margarine (I used olive oil) 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1. Line bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix cereal, apples, almonds and cranberries; set aside. 2. In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter, corn syrup and brown sugar over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. 3. Pour over cereal mixture in bowl; stir until evenly coated. Using buttered back of spoon, press mixture firmly in pan. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to cut. 4. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature up to 1 week.

I just made a second batch of this and I was out of light corn syrup so I used honey and it worked out good with that too.
Enjoy!
