Yummy!! LOVED!! I didn't add almonds, unflower seeds or any of the rainsins.. but was a delicious treat for school! I will make theses again! They taste just like the store bought ones!! Thanks for sharing!!

These were awesome! I added some walnuts and pumpkin spice to them which added just a little spice to them which I thought was very yummy but I think they would have been fine without it.

Thanks for posting such an awesome recipe! I had a hard time getting the bars out of the pan though. Maybe I didn't grease it wee enough. I am eating the little pieces that didn't want to cooperate as I comment. Ym! I did not add raisins craisins but did follow everything else. We loved it!
