To make this GF/CF I used margarine and puffed millet (plus regular oats). I melted butter, PB and honey together. This was too hard to make into balls, so I pressed into an 11x7 pan, chilled, and made 20 bars. It is a little crumbly, and I think I would use just a tad more honey next time (for more sweetness and maybe extra binder?) Made for Newest Zaar Tag. Thanks!
