I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite! These bars are sweet, soft, and yummy! I did use oats, but threw in a little bit of coconut just for the heck of it! Very good and my son and I had fun making them! Thank you!

These are lovely. I did not have oats, so I substituted coconut. Worked out fine. Next time, I will double the recipe. One pan was enough for a snack and lunches the next day.
