Mine were not hard or dry, but they were overwhelmingly sweet. If you make this, be sure to ease up in the corn syrup and sugar :/

These were the worst bars, not because of flavor but because they were so hard and dry. No-one liked them in my family so I tried to give them away to friends. No way did anyone want them. I even tried icing them with peanut butter icing. Still dry and the only way I didn't break my teeth on them was to heat them in the microwave for about 10 seconds. I finally tossed them in the trash. BTW, I love Grape-nuts and I love PB.
