I halved it as I'm just making them for myself and cut the brown sugar a bit more-- down to 1/4 cup instead of 1/3 cup (for half a recipe). I also used veg oil instead of butter. I had toasted hazelnuts on hand and used chopped dried apricots for fruit-- delicious. Next I'll try peanuts and raisins and substitute peanut butter for some of the oil. Thanks for the inspiration!

For the fruit, I used homedried apples & really ripe bananas, plus dried Craisins, mangos, & blueberries. I didn't have enough sunflower seeds so instead I used 1/4 C sunflower, 1/4 C flax, & 1/4 cup sesame seeds. I also didn't have enough for 1 C peanuts so- I used 1/2 C crushed peanuts & 1/2 C slivered almonds instead. I knew my dehydrated bananas were extra ripe/sweet so I only used 1 tsp of vanilla in the "glue". The result?! AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for this recipe! My hubby & little boys thank you, too!!

My college daughter takes them for her snack when her classes don't allow time for lunch, and being laid off right now, I can't afford to purchase the Fiber One bars she likes so well. I came across this recipe this morning and made it right away....I also made a few changes because I didn't have the listed ingredients. In place of peanuts, I used walnuts, in place of honey I used peanut butter and added it with the butter and vanilla to make the gloo. I also didn't have waxed paper (supplies are VERY low...) so I placed a new garbage bag in the dish to line it. There was plenty of bag to fold over and press, and when I lifted, it looked like the waxed paper did in the directions. I have ann appointment and will be back in a couple hours to check on them.

It was a hit with grandparents and kids. Making it the second time. Doubling the recipe so the grandparents can have some too. Thanks for the recipe. It was very good!

I recently went on a low sodium diet and developed an allergy to soy (to add to my peanut allergy). Trying to find a granola bar in the store that fits all these categories has been a nightmare! By substituting almonds for the peanuts this will work perfectly. Haven't made these yet but I am excited to try them!
