Ok, I read some of the mixed reviews of these, but I went ahead and made them exactly as written anyway. They're awesome! Chewy and delicious! Here's what I did that might make them more successful for others: Mixed oats, flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and chocolate chips together. Cut in the butter really well. Measured out honey then added the vanilla to the honey, and poured in dry mixture. Blended REALLY well.. for a couple minutes at least until there wasn't a dry crumb to be seen. Poured into pan, spread out, and patted it down FIRMLY. Baked for only 18 minutes (until only the edges were slightly browned). Once out of the oven, pressed it into the pan again and let it sit in the pan until completely cool (30 minutes to an hour I think). I used a pizza cutter and cut into bars and put them in the fridge to cool even more. When I took them out of the pan, they weren't crumbly at all. If you undermix, overbake, and/or cut these too soon - you'll have problems.
