I loved these (as did the husband). I think next time I'll add a little shredded coconut along with the craisins (so, 1/2 cup of each). Or, if I'm feeling particularly sinful, instead of the regular additional ingredients, I'll add some orange zest and dip the bottom of the bars in dark chocolate. - 1/3/10

Pretty good generally - better than regular granola bars, and more filling, with fewer preservatives. I put in 15 grams of coconut (70 cals) and one tablespoon of chopped pecans. One point -in the nutrition count, you list 1/2 c of craisins as having 180 cals, but my box says it comes to over 400. - 11/23/09

Made a double batch of this recipe last night--for my 1 cup of addins, I used 1/4 c white chocolate, 1/4 c semi-sweet chocolate, and 1/2 c dried cranberries. I also used 1/4 c splenda and 1/4 c brown sugar as splenda gives me heart-burn quite often. AWESOME!!! Will definitely be making this again! - 12/31/09

I give five stars. These bars stay together, without crumbs all over you. They are not to sweet, and very healthy. And moist and chewy. Just the way we like them for the run. I have them in a zip lock bag. And On the counter. I made them Friday and Monday still very fresh. Thank you for the recipe, - 3/8/10

The 2 1/4 c oats listed in the recipe would amount to 1/4 c per serving vs .11 c listed in the nutrition info, increasing the calories by about 40. Otherwise, the bars have good flavor. I added an egg to help them stay together better and be more moist. My favorite is pumpkin with cinnamon chips. - 10/17/11

I replaced the applause with peanut butter and added chocolate chips to the top of half of the bars. When I took them out of the oven I spread the chocolate out so it covered the top of the bars. These are super filling and super delicious with or without the chocolate. My husband even loves the! - 3/25/11

These were incredibly easy to make. They came out pretty soft, so I let them sit for quite awhile and then put them in the fridge. The bars are pretty big! I substituted real brown sugar for the splenda because its banned in Belgium, so it probably has some health risks. I will make these again! - 1/5/10

Really enjoyed this bar. As other have stated, this is a great base recipe. It is simple to make. Also, fun and easy to adapt to personal taste. I love the fact that there is no fat (except that used to "grease" the pan) in this recipe. My "additions" were Craisins and chocolate chips. YUM! - 4/7/15
