    These were great! I don't like raisins so I substituted chopped dates for the raisins. My husband couldn't understand why I was making granola bars when you can just buy them at the store, so I didn't expect him to eat any, but he sure liked them, and ate at least half of them!

    Love the pumpkin & sunflower seeds in this recipe. Great texture! I found it a little time consuming to make, but well worth it when you taste the finished product. I will definitely make them again.

    I decided to make this as an alternative to my daily trip to the office vending machine. It's so much tastier and easy to make. However, I made one small addition that I think goes a long way. I added a handful of chocolate chips when pulling the brown sugar mixture off the stove. They melted quickly and then blended into the granola for pressing. Yum!

    I have been trying several different granola bar recipes and this one is really good. As others have found, they can be easily "tweaked" to your preferences. The one thing that I find I have added to ALL of the recipes I have tried comes from Sunny Anderson's Happy Trails Granola. She beats 2 egg whites and tosses into oat mixture just before baking. The egg whites act as a low-cal binder which helps hold the granola together and puts a really nice "crisp" on the whole shebang! Try it-I'm sure you'll agree!

    I love this recipe! I added 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips in with the peanut butter, and needed just a tad more corn syrup. It turned out WONDERFUL!!!

    I made these for my husband and I ended up eating them and I dont even like granola bars! They are fabulous! I used 1 cup of chocolate chips after the nuts and oats were cooled off. I poured the hot peanut butter, corn syrup mixture over the oats and nuts and the chocolate chips melted giving the granola bars a very nice peanut butter and chocolate flavor...

    Emeril never disappoints!

    I've tried a lot of granola bar recipes and have liked them all...but this one is the best by far and is now my Go-To granola bar recipe. It just doesn't get any better than this one...chewey and full of flavor. The only thing I do differently, is use Agave Nectar instead of corn syrup...absolutely delicious!!!

    We didn't have the various seeds mentioned, and I replace the corn syrup with raw agave nectar. These were delicious! Definitely recommend patting them down firmly so that they hold together. We wrapped the cut-up rectangles in plastic wrap and they made an easy breakfast to-go.

    These granola bars are packed with nutritious goodies and came out absolutely delicious! I brought them to a potluck and not only did my daughter love them, but some of the adults were sneaking them before the desserts came out! These are a staple snack in my house.
