    I found what determines whether these hold together well or crumble is how long you cook the honey, brown sugar mixture. I've used molasses instead of honey at times and various other combination of ingredients with great results each time. If I want a harder bar, I just cook the sugars longer, which is what you do in making candy. I've used peanut butter instead of regular butter, added cinnamon, used ground flax seed instead of wheat germ, used pumpkin seeds and numerous other combinations and they always come out great. Which is why I think it's a fabulous recipe. Variety is the spice of life! I've packed them in air tight containers for road trips and have found my traveling partners eat them up quickly! Very versatile and adaptable recipe to suit any taste.

    okay, i didn't make these, my husband did! They were really tasty and the fact that my husband made them without my help shows how really easy they are to make. It's so versatile too, you could use virtually any dried fruit. I believe he put in dried apricot, banana chips, and sunflower seeds. Yummy! We cut them all up and wrapped them in plastic wrap. Great snacks to take to work!

    Great recipe. I did change a few things.. First, I tried it with 4oz molasses and 2.5oz honey. The molasses seemed to give it a richer taste. Plus when I compared it to the Honey only batch, the batch with molasses seemed to stay together better. Also, I used a buttered CupCake pan to bake individual portions so I did not have to cut them later. I used a number 40 scooper to keep the portions the same. And I used a second cupcake pan to compress the mixture into the first pan. Also, I'm not an Almond fan, I used crushed peanuts. As for the fruit, equal parts died blueberries, dried cranberries (craisins and raisins.

    These are delicious!! I tried different fruit and nuts. The only thing is that they were very crumbly. Next time I will try to go by the oz instead of cup. But you can still crumble up and eat just like granola. I made these for the second time and they were DELICIOUS!!!! Go by the ounce measurement.....I just wish I knew how many calories are in a 2 inch square....Definitely a keeper...

    Very tasty. Made one healthier substitution. Coconut oil instead of butter. Delicious, will definitely make it again. Somone said they used flax seed instead of wheat germ. I like the sound of that and will do that next time.

    They taste great, and I love that the components are easy to modify based on what we have in the house. These will breed a lot of experimentation. I'm excited to have a granola bar that I can take on the run for breakfast, camping or cycling, and I know exactly what's in it. Yum.
