Good Recipe. I put cinnamon in the raisins as they were cooking. Put it in a 9" x 9" pan. Too small, bars were too thick. 13" x 9" was too big. I will flatten crust out next time. Will try with dates, cherries, apricots.

I added one egg to the oatmeal mixture and used a 9 X 9 pan. Also, used way less frosting. They were good and since I have lots of raisins left, I'll make them again!

These are really good! The only change I made was to add cinnamon to the raisins as they were cooking and to use half white flour and half whole-wheat flour. I think that next time I'll halve the amount of icing, because I didn't even use all that the recipe made and I still thought it was too much.

Thanks for a great basic recipe. I have added dried cranberries to the filling which gives it some tartness. For a different flavor add grated orange rind. A definite keeper. Raisin lovers must try this.

These bars are excellent. I added more cinnamon to the raisin mixture. My husband and I both love them and I will definitely keep the recipe. Thanks for the submission.
