Updated with nutrition info best i could figure it. Still may try a butter substitute to drop the fat a little if i can get a similar consistency and taste. I might also eliminate the vanilla to see what i think. They are pretty good as is though.

The name of your snack really got to me. We constantly have a packrat problem at our property in the mountains. Snack sounds good though.

Corn flakes is what I have used, will give the rolled oats a go.

Toasting the oats was enjoyable. I substituted natural peanut butter for the butter, I liked that better. I also garnished with a smidge of kosher salt. Jury is still out on that but it was pretty good. All in all a audience and easy snack to whip up.
