These taste great!! Do they need to stay in the freezer or is it just to harden them up?

very good! I take them with me to school and eat them for breakfast almost every day.

I love these! I am a mom who wants to provide healthy snacking alternatives to my family. I feel really good about making these available to the kids. I also found that they are perfect for me when I run out of time for breakfast in the morning or am craving something sweet on my way home from work! <br/><br/>I have made these in bulk, cut them, wrapped them in parchment paper, then freezer sealed them. They taste great once they've thawed and last a long time in the freezer.

I have made this recipe a few times for my grandson and his friends. They love them. I have used different nuts. For the dried fruit I have used dried cranberries or dried blueberries. I don't add chocolate chips though.
