Better-For-You Peanut Butter Chews

Peanut butter chews are one of my favorite snacks. I rarely make them because most recipes call for low fiber cereal, corn syrup,etc. After experimenting some with the  basic recipe, I found a few ways to add in more nutrients while maintaining the distinctive flavor and texture. The next time I make these, I plan to cup the brown sugar back to 1/4 cup just to see how it works out. Hope you enjoy!
