I would make this again but I would use regular peanut butter. These bars didn't hold together very well so I think they need something extra so they will keep their form.

I made exactly as written & they were great. I am not usually a graola bar fan because they are dry. These were not dry at all. I did make with all chocolate chips but will add mini M&Ms next time. Maybe nuts too.

omg these were, and are so good. I used nutella, added some dried cherries and prunes to boot. Oh so good!!!

These are wonderful, they were so easy to make. I am glad they are low in calories because I am sure I will eat too many. Thanks for the great recipe.

My grandkids loved them as much as I did.

So very easy and I had everything I needed without having to go to the store.

Loved this recipe. I made it twice, in one weekend. The first time I added pecans and the second time I added peanuts. The peanut version was really good. Thank you for sharing!

I followed the receipe exactly. A little dry. I felt like they would have been better if I would have used milk chocolate chips instead of the semi-chocolate, a little bitter. Could the particular honey I used make the difference in taste ?

Keeper for sure...I used Nutella rather than Peanut Butter as suggested by Grammy Ruth below. Might try adding rice krispies or coconut next time.

This recipe is a keeper! Thanks to all the others that have tried it I now have many more options. Very tasty, try eating only one!

Absolutely wonderful!!! I did use sugar free honey, quickoats(did not have any old-fashioned oats), splenda brown sugar and applesauce(in the place of canola oil).Everyone loved them!
