These bars just don't taste very good. They're fairly easy to prepare, and texture-wise they're fine (moist, even slightly chewy, but I just don't enjoy the flavor.
Compared with older major-brand energy bars, this recipe is a step up (which is why it gets **. However, the newer bars are vastly tastier and not that expensive, especially if you don't eat them every day.
Sorry AB, these are not so good eats.

I really liked this recipe...it beats all the packaged and processed bars you find at the grocery store. This has now become my food of choice after a hard workout.

I made these this afternoon and, at least while they're still slightly warm, the texture reminds me of warm shortcake or fresh baking powder biscuits, maybe just a little denser.

The flavor, on the other hand, is a lot like peanut butter toast with whole fruit spread on it.

Next up: an attempt at making these while replacing the whole wheat flour with cocoa powder and at least a portion of the fruit with semisweet chocolate chips.

I sub a few different thing and they still turned out beautifully. Really good for you, less expensive than packaged items. Superb

My boys and I use power bars and water to keep us on the slopes all day. We say the episode and decided to make these. Wow! Great texture and taste and they had greater staying power than brand name power bars! It was great being able to ski Keystone and A-Basin all day for 4 straight days! You rock Alton!

I found these bars quite easy to make, and the results were even better than I expected. They are chewy, moist and delicious. I made it just as it was described. Next time I might add more apricots because they gave the best texture of all the dried fruits, and maybe I would exclude the raisins (not my favorite. They also freeze well!

Okay, so the idea of tofu at first really turned me off. But, I thought I would give it a shot. Wow, I really love these bars. I used Craisens and dried cherries in mine. For the price breakdown they cost 60 cents a piece. Not bad! I usually eat one with a side of raw carrots and a piece of fruit for a meal. Keeps me full for quite a while! And I'm losing weight! Cha-ching!

This is a great recipe. They turned out very good and I will continue to make these instead of buying them. This all seems like a great recipe for variations, as simply changing the fruits will go a long way to changing the flavors, so you don't get bored of them.

Also, for the comments about the price offset, it is certainly some money up front to get a lot of the ingredients if you don't have them, but you can reuse most of the ingredients enough times that the cost difference would be made up very fast. The next time I make them I'll just need the apple juice and tofu probably. Everything else in now stocked and ready.
