I haven't cut these yet. Hope they will stay together because the cereal was sweet I didn't add sugar. Oringinal recipe calls for 2 egg whites, I upped it to 3 because of the omition of sugar. I used dried papaya, sweetend dried pinapple, unsweetend coconut, walnuts for the first nut and sunflower seeds for the second nut. The original recipe also called for 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour that I didn't have so I used wheat germ.
