These were delicious! I expected them to be harder and taste like some "health food". They were soft and surprisingly great tasting! - 11/11/09

These are very tasty! With so little fat, I didn't expect them to be as good as they are -- sort of like trail mix meets oatmeal meets cookie. Thanks for sharing this recipe! - 2/15/10
