Notes: The bars are best kept in the refrigerator, although it's by no means essential.
They soften in the heat but don't disintegrate.
Any other cereal crumbs can be combined with cornflakes to make up the 3 cups. It's a good way to use up those other-wise annoying scraps. If too much powdery stuff goes in, the bars can be somewhat dense. Using Rice Bubbles (Rice Krispies) gives a lighter texture. Dessicated coconut is best, as shredded coconut is too course.
