Here is a recipe for granola bars. I skip the chocolate chips myself.

Combine cereal, oats and raisins in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the corn syrup and brown sugar to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract and blend until smooth. Pour this over the cereal mixture and mix well. Add chocolate chips (optional) and mix thoroughly. Press into an ungreased 13 by 9 inch baking dish. Cool. Cut into bars.

(but both my mother and I considered the version she made with Cheerios inferior to the Rice Krispies version. Dad disagrees :-). The chocolate chips may be omitted, if desired.
