I followed the recipe exactly, except I used only 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and I substituted the raisins for about 3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries and 1/4 cup slivered almonds. I also baked them for about 25 min. The texture was more cookie-like than I expected, and they were also too sweet for me. (I'm used to the sweetness of bars like the Kashi trail mix flavor). Otherwise, the flavors in this recipe were very good. I will make these again, but will use maybe only 1/3 cup or even 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, and perhaps use chopped or whole almonds instead of slivered (for more crunch). I think I would also bake them for the recommended time of 30-35 minutes. I might even add some rice krispy cereal, like another member suggested, for more textural variety.
