I make these at least once a week for my husband, David. He takes one in his lunch every week and never gets tired of them. I love providing him with something so healthy to snack on that doesn't taste low-fat. —Jessica VanLaningham, Cockeysville, Maryland

I used 1/2 raisins and 1/2 walnuts - they were delicious. Made them last week, and am going to make again today. My husband and I both love them.

I made these and both my husband and I loved them. I will probably cut down the amount of sugar the next time, but they were moist and delicious! A big hit!

I made these and LOVED them. They were a HUGE hit. I do think they have a lot of sugar, so next time I am going to try the Splenda Brown sugar, and maybe use half wheat flour. I also bought mini choc chips to add instead of the raisins for a change.

My husband and I we just love them. I made

some changes, like I use butter flavor Crisco,

1/2 c. brown Splenda, egg beaters,1c whole wheat flour, and cut them smaller 24 pices.

Like we are in Weight Watcher, I cut the 6 points, to 2 points, and we only eat one each every morning with coffee, as we are reading the paper. Mr.&Mrs. John L. Smith

Just loved this recipe! The kids ate it all in two days, so I had to make more. Substituted Chocolate chips instead of the raisins.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It's a good substitute for store bought granola bars, much less expensive! I did make a few changes, however. I cut the sugar in half. It was plenty sweet with the honey and raisins. I happened to have some coconut oil so I tried that and enjoyed the flavor it gave it. The recipe says that it serves 12. That's quite a large bar. I cut mine in half again so that it serves 24. I guesstimate the calories in that size serving to be about 100. It's a great little snack. I think I might experiment adding some whey powder for a higher protein bar. If you want to splurge you could melt some dark chocolate on top.

Super easy to make. Taste great. A little chewy, a little crunchy! I used craisins instead of raisins.
