i only used chocolate chips and rice puffs instead of dried fruits or nuts, but it came out yummy! It was a bit too sweet with the condensed milk even though I used only 1 cup of chocolate chips and unsweetened rice puffs - but everyone else said they liked it so they were either being nice or my taste buds were being to sensitive to the sweetness! I liked that there was no flour in this recipe compared to others. I left out the butter and added half a mashed banana which added a hint of banana flavor - i might use a full banana next time, half the condensed milk, and half something else to keep everything sticky without oversweetening - perhaps unsalted peanut butter?

fun and easy to create custom granola bars by substituting your favorite ingredients. I used craisins and mini chocolate chips. Very yummy!

This recipe is great. I didn't have dried cranberries or chocolate chips on hand, so I made it with dried blueberries. I made it a second time with dried blueberries and dried cherries. The first time I put it in the fridge instead of bagging them, so it got kind of stale after a couple days, but when the granola bars are bagged they last for at least a week. It's great for breakfast with milk or just as a snack to take with you when your in a rush.

Great basic recipe. We have made these several times and changed them up each time. I use a large jellyroll pan to make thin bars. Make sure not to overcook! Also, followed the advice to soak the milk in warm water to make mixing easier. Great recipe!

Very easy to put together, although I would choose a different favour combination. Coconut & cranberries taste funny together. Would definitely make again with different ingredients

They were too sweet because of the condensed milk. I gave them to my neighbor and they really liked them.

They were OK - the taste of the sweetened condensed milk wasn't the yummiest. My 7-year old boy really liked them though.

These stayed moist and chewy ~ a true winner in our books! Because this recipe is so versatile you can add what ever additions you want. I added mini choc chips, dried cranberries, raisins and about 1/4 cup peanut butter. It was soooooo good. Also, I subbed flax meal for half of the wheat germ.

LOVE this recipe. Very easy and flexible so you can add whatever you want. Other than the oats and the condensed milk, everything else can be optional and substitued as desired. And very good too!! So much better than store bought.

I just finished making these bars - they are still cooling (so much for the cool completely - they are super yummy warm!) I think the thing that makes this recipe great is the versatility - you can use whatever you want to! I did what Alicecyn recommended - 3 c. oats, 4 c. of 'whatever' - and was very pleased. Going to be very easy to change and allow for different tastes. Thanks for posting it - and thanks to other reviewers for ideas!

I made these bars a couple of weeks ago. I went exactly by the recipe and they were so very good. I wouldn't change a thing. Very easy to make.

I thought these were really good! I left out the coconut but I used raisins, semi-sweet choco chips, and almonds slivers. I also added about a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and about 1/4 tsp cinnamon and it was delicious! I just wish there was something to use besides sweetened condensed milk, that is the most unhealthy part of the whole thing. I also added 1/4 cup wheat germ for some fiber. My next batch will be cranberries, raisins, pecans, and walnuts. Healthy healthy!

Very good and easy. I have made them several times, and enjoyed them every time. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because of the strong sweetened condensed milk taste that I wish I could get rid of. Any substitution for the SCM I've tried hasn't yielded favorable results.

Not sure what I did wrong with this recipe but it did not stick together very well :{ It has enough "glue" but it seems like it didn't harden enough to keep them from bending. May be I should have baked it longer. The mixture is pretty good though!
