These bars are very good! I lacked some ingredients, so I substituted Bob MIll's 5 grain cereal for the old fashioned oats, and used dried apricots instead of the raisins. Also, I thought they might be a little too sweet for us, so I used only 3/4 cup splenda and substituted 1/4 cup honey for the brown sugar. I like bigger bars, so mine made 18. They make a wonderful breakfast with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee :) Thanks for a wonderful and healthy recipe!
