I am completely addicted to these! The are delicious, delicious, delicious! I cut them into squares rather than long bars. They are perfect for kids' lunchboxes. Have kept mine in the freezer (they are quite crumbly otherwise) and they can be eaten immediately, no defrosting required. I even saved the crumbs and had them with yoghurt for breakfast! And on top of it all they are so quick and easy to make.
