Really good! I did make some changes, using whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour, and switching around the amounts of raisins and chocolate chips (using 2 cups raisins and 1 cup chocolate chips). I also halved the recipe and baked it for 24 minutes in a dark non-stick 9x9 square pan, lowering the temp to 325 F to compensate for the dark pan. All said and done, they are wonderful! Tried one still slightly warm and one cool, good both ways!

These bars are excellent and so healthy. You could also use 1 cup choc chips and 1 cup m&m's for a different version but the recipe is excellent as is. I usually soak my raisons in hot water before I bake with them as it makes them plump.
