Fantastic! My wife and I loved them! I think next time I will pump the brakes on the sesame seeds....they tend to overpower. A very versatile recipe, that I look forward to playing with.

these were EXCELLENT!! I will never buy another granola bar. My kids loved them. I made them before a camping/canoe trip (as the store bought were just too expensive) and they were a hit! One bar carried you through for lunch easily. They're very calorie dense. I used honey in place of the corn syrup and brown sugar in place of white. Other than that I followed the recipe faithfully and was not disappointed!

These are incredibly easy to put together, and you can adjust the fruit etc. to make them taste to your liking. I used a multi-grain rolled cereal that had oats, wheat, rye, and barley in place of the rolled oats. Also, I left out the white sugar, and added 1/4 cup brown sugar and used organic Agave nectar in place of the corn syrup. Outstanding! They were still a bit sweet for me, so next time I'm going to try brown rice syrup. I hike a ton, and these really give me the sustained energy I need. Excellent recipe!!

These turned out good! I use honey instead of corn syrup, and a flavored protein powder instead of powdered milk. The great thing about this recipe is that it can be customized to your own liking! There are a lot of ingredients that can be switched out for different ones. This is MUCH cheaper than buying energy bars at the store. I will definitely be making these again!

Great bars. Very tasty! Didn't have all ingredients on hand so substitued some and cut sugar amount in half so not as sweet! Will be making these again! Oh, and you don't bake them so that is why they burnt.

These are great and easy to make! My husband is a big cyclist and these little bars can keep him going on long rides. You can really vary what is inside them based on personal preferences and what you have on hand. We substituted honey for the corn syrup and decided that we would probably leave out the sesame seeds next time. A great way to save money on expensive energy bars!

These bars were good, but I was very disappointed when after all that work there is no instruction for baking. I baked at maybe 350 for 25 min and they burned, therefore ruining the taste. Next time I will watch them closely and cook on a lower temp.
