    This recipe is awesome. It's better than the Oat and Fruit Bars by Bill Yosses in the NYTimes recently. And that is saying something!

    Alton's recipes are always great, and this one's easy too. @ Phil-n-Alice. . .While the name Alton Brown is probably English in origin, he's as American as apple pie, or since he's from Georgia, pecan pie! Anyone who watches Good Eats knows that Alton is a stickler for measurements when he bakes, and always weighs dry ingredients, so 8 oz would be by weight, not by cup. Hope this helps, Good Eating!!!

    Also in response to @deb1973 - Even when dealing in cups not every one knows a cup is 8 oz. the Australian, and Canadian cups are 250 ml. the English cup measure is 285ml. it is only the US cup measure that is 8oz ( or 236ml. and even US FDA has rounded up to 240ml. - I may be wrong but I believe Alton Brown is English so has become sensitized to the variability of "common sense" measures. I will also say that my pinch of salt is probably not the same as yours.

    @deb1973 "Everyone with a modicum of cooking sense knows 8 ounzes is one cup."

    Weight and volume are two different things. 8 ounces of water is always one cup, but 8 ounces of something like oats would be more than a cup.

    These are awesome! And they are healthy, too. I substituted ground flax for the wheat germ and they turned out great. I've also played around with the recipe, adding different things and changing it up. These are such a nice alternative to the junk they sell in grocery stores and my kids love them!

    @Deb: First off, Alton Brown is like a walking, breathing food encyclopedia, so for you to accuse him of not having a "modicum of cooking sense" is laughable. Second, ounces doesn't have a "z" in it.

    (i went over 1000 characters, so here are my tips, continued

    I sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, instead of mixing them. This also helps them melt less & uses less chocolate!

    I use an 8x8 metal pan that fits into my glass pan to help press the mixture down. It is magical.

    I purchase oats, nuts, wheat germ (or any substitutes in the bulk section of the grocery store. This is SO CHEAP!

    I make sure to bake them only about 22-23 minutes -- 25 made them too hard for me.

    Great recipe! Deb- have you watched Alton Brown? He only measures in weight, no by cup. I am sure the Food Network made him use cups for those who don't measure in weight. But when you bake you really need to use ounces, but cups. It will not come out as well if you use cups.

    Your recipe was confusing because of the incorrect conversions from ounzes to cups. For instance: It starts off calling for 8 ounzes of oats and then says "approximately 2 cups." Everyone with a modicum of cooking sense knows 8 ounzes is one cup. The next five ingredients are also way off. Did you mean for us to follow the ounzes or the cups? Thanks! Deb

    This is an incredible receipe! Not hard or long to put together. Easy to make personal adjustments if necessary. I didn't have enough honey left, so made up difference with light corn syrup. Also didn't have wheat germ in pantry, so added pecans to sunflower, almonds and walnuts. Cut up a bit of Dried Hibiscus flowers and added with raisens. So AWESOME.
