    Very Good

    I love these! Yummy--I think I wanted some healthy baked goods! I added just a few raisins--craisins would be great, too. This is something you could enjoy tweaking, and it would be good, and different each time! - 3/29/08

    I'd substitute apple sauce for some of the butter, splenda for the honey, and I'd have a great snack for my diabetic father in law. He loves nutty, healthy stuff! - 3/26/08

    We love this recipe and found that the sweetness is just right as is. I make them in a 9x9 pan so that they are thicker and adjust the size accordingly. Thank you for sharing! (I did add 1/2 tsp vanilla, but did not change anything else.) - 3/10/10

    Bad

    Not sure what happened but they didn't turn out well for me. Very bland, and didn't quite fill the jelly roll pan I used - If you make these, watch them closely and use a smaller pan? - 4/1/08

    I used a cooked apple (peel, chop and microwave for 1 min on high), raisins (rinsed in warm water) and sliced almonds, but no coconut. In lieu of molasses I had no-sugar Syrup by ED Smith and fresh Ontario honey. Next time I would make it in a 9x9 pan instead and only bake it for 30 mins. - 1/25/10
