2. In a large bowl combine rice krispies, oats and optional add in.
3. In a saucepan stir the honey and brown sugar until just at a boil.
4. Immediately removed from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
5. Pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl; mix to combine.
6. Mix in mini chocolate chips, working fast. The mixture hardens quickly.
7. Transfer themixture into prepared baking dish, then using slightly wet hands push evenly down into the pan.

Yummy! They make 20 bars, 100 calories each. 1.6 grams fat, fiber 1%, sugars 11.7g Protein 1.5g

I'm going to talk to my friend and find out how to make these fiber bars, because they are so stinkin good I'd eat them instead of fiber one bars.

Cinnamon Rolls

I personally am not a big fan of cinnamon rolls, but I have been on the lookout for a good recipe for awhile now. I've tried probably half a dozen different ones and this one is my favorite so far. They taste good and the recipe uses the rapid rise yeast which makes them relatively quick for a yeast roll. Enjoy!
