Great energy snack. Add dried apricots and pecans for extra fiber; increases flavor too. Calorie content needs to be adjusted. I agree need to spread in larger pan so they're thinner...and fewer calories per bar!

We liked these (even my 8 year old and 2 year old). They were a little hard to cut and eat, so I plan to try making them thinner, spreading out in a larger pan, next time.
