"I took Recipe #400753 and change some ingredients. However, I left most of the ingredients the same so I want to give most of the credit to Chef mariajane. I'm posting this to get the nutritional value and calories. This is a wonderful, moist, filling, low calorie recipe. I like to take these bars to work or eat a bar before my workout."
