Tried making these, thinking it might be similar to some granola bars I tasted at a get-together a while back. The taste is OK, but they browned too quickly on the sides and bottom and were too crunchy.

I made a couple of changes to the recipe. I cooked it at 300 and for about 25 minutes, they turned out chewy, just the way we like them. I also didn't have the last 3 ingredients so I added about a cup or rice krispies instead and they were soooo good. Definatly will make these again!! ***** from us!

I left out the coconut and the sesame seeds, and I used 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup light corn syrup. The taste was good before baking, but I should have read the other reviews, because the time & temp was way too much. I cooked them less and they are still slightly burnt. However, I think they will still be yummy, and I will probably make them again with my revisions.

This was a waste of ingredients! I could tell the bottom was browning too quickly after the first 10 minutes, so I turned the oven down to 250 and still had to take it out at 20 minutes. And they were way too brown on the bottom, and way too sweet also. I think thats why they browned so quickly, far too much sugar and fat also, due to the whole stick of butter AND the 3/4 cup of peanut butter. This is not a good recipe, and I wouldn't make it again.

These are really good! The only problem I had is that they got too done. I used a metal pan the first time and baked for 25 minutes. I have since discovered that what works for me is to use a glass pan and bake 23 minutes at 325. Great flavor though and very easy. I tried using dried blueberries instead of chocolate chips the second time and prefer them that way. I also don't put in the sunflower seeds or sesame seeds.
