     I added extra peanut butter to make it stick a little better. - 2/5/08

     Very tasty! I doubled up the honey and peanut butter and did not have a problem with crumbliness. Added some raisins and a scoop of soy protein as well. - 1/27/08

     I loved these! Mine came out a little crumbly but I'm going to try adding more of the peanut butter/honey mix next time. My boyfriend used it as cereal, it was delicious! - 5/4/07

     I added dried bananas and raisins (the cheapest dried fruit avail at trader joe's). Then I baked a scoopful in a muffin tin. It's very crumbly and will probably do better a granola. I'll try more peanut butter next. I'm looking for something to take to work. Cheaper than TLC bar. - 6/23/10

     Just made these! They were great! I didn't have any coconut or sesame seeds. I added some ground flax seed and chopped prunes! I also added about a tablespoon of molasses! And a touch more honey! So so good! - 11/25/12

     My family LOVES THESE! I ended up using Almond butter and doubling the amount of almond butter. This made them much less crumbly but very yummy! - 5/21/11
