I liked these a lot, and so did my son. I omitted the nuts without any ill effects. I got outvoted on the optional ingredients (my son wanted raisins), but I think I will put my foot down next time, as I think chocolate chips will be ever so much better. A fine alternative to store-bought.

Loved these! Made the first batch with cranberries and dates. Now trying a peanut butter chocolate chip variation. These are much better than the ones at the store!

I followed this recipe pretty closely and we really like how these bars turned out. My husband doesn't like big pieces of nuts in food but I think they're vital to the flavor and texture, so I always grind nuts in my food processor until they are fine but not pasty. I store them in glass jars and pull them out whenever a recipe calls for them. The other change I made was that I used 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and they were delicious with a pleasantly moist chewiness.

This is soooooooo good. I have made it several times, slivered almonds and craisons are a nice change. Love the crunch from the rice krispies!

Everyone loved this recipe, but I think it could be reworked to be more healthy . . . less sugar and butter. The dough seemed more like a sweet cookie dough.

I remade this in a lower sugar version, using splenda, splenda brown sugar blend & hersheys sugar free chocolate chips. Awesome granola bar, loaded with fiber & now lower sugar. This is the best treat I've tried in awhile, BIG Hit.
