This was so easy to make. I did make a few changes to the recipe, which made it better for me. I used dried figs instead of... raisins and omitted the coconut. It turned out very well.Read more

Very Tasty & Healthy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this snack gluten free with gluten free oats grown here locally in Wyoming, as well as with brown rice flour. They... were just as delicious as store-bought and tasted so much healthier!Read more

Quick and Fun
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My two year old daughter and I had so much fun making these together. The ingredients are easy to switch around. We used... dried cranberries and white choc. chips instead. They were very sweet though so it took us awhile to get through the pan. We will have to try them again and see what other variations we can come up with!Read more
