... ... THANK-YOU Alycia Sands ... ... I had ALL the Ingredients in my Pantry - great for Afternoon Tea. - 12 Dec 2011
I liked these bars, and they are very fast and easy to make. I didn't have any dates so used raisins. The second batch I left out the raisins and added mini choc. chips instead. Even Better!! Will make these again! - 11 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This bar was lite and yummy! A perfect combo of soft and gooey. I didn't have walnuts so I subbed almonds and I didn't quite have enough honey so I used 1/4 cup brown rice syrup too. I mixed in some coconut flakes (unsweetened) into the mixture as well as on top. This is one of those treats that I feel good about sharing with my son and others because I know it's naturally sweetened! I'll be making this one often as an afternoon snack. - 30 Mar 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
