CherieBonine

Amazing! I added dried cherries, almonds, sunflower seeds and used almond extract. I've made this recipe 3 times and my kids and husband just gobble it up.

I've been making these bars for almost a year now and can't get enough! They're so simple to make and delicious. I have given the recipe out countless times, once someone tries them they want to know how to make them. Experiment with the added fruits and other ingredients, keeps them interesting

Serahhaggerty

Good recipe, doubled the honey and peanut butter, and mixed individual bars in sandwich bags (easier for small hands and great for storage!) and also added 1/2 spelt flakes and 1/2 oats. Kids love them.
