Peanut butter and/or chocolate chips go well in oatmeal cookies, as do
raisins...  ;>    However, alone together they would make quite the

The real peaches sound okay...  the peach flavoring spray somewhat less
so...  The Dole peach Fruit Crisp (canned peaches in a sorta pie-like
syrup, with a portion of granola packaged into the cap of the bowl to
sprinkle over the fruit) probably is better.  I've sale/couponed a
couple of those...  ;)
