For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar, but the flavor will be slightly different. Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, dried fruit, or mini chocolate chips to the cereal mixture for added texture and flavor. For easy cutting, lightly grease the serrated knife with butter or cooking spray. To make these for a holiday, consider adding holiday-themed sprinkles or candies before the mixture cools.
