Peanut Butter Trail Mix Bars image

The original version of this recipe came from a jar of Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter. I've reduced the sugar significantly and substituted ingredients that I commonly have on hand for some of the original. Very tasty! I first sent them to school for parties for a couple of my kids several years ago and they STILL get requests...

These bars are really good, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with half the amount of peanut butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed these bars. The peanut butter flavor is subtle, and the other ingredients really shine through.

These bars are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy. I love the way the peanut butter and oats meld together, and the pretzels and M&M's add a nice touch of sweetness.
