Used different ingredients. I didn't have any dessicated coconut so I used ground almond instead, in the same quantity. I doubled the amount of golden syrup. Very tasty! - 06 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)

I made these to use up some dessicated coconut that was heading out of date and they were amazing! Well, I say 'they', but I really mean the amorphous sheet of oat and coconut that covered the baking tray because I thought the mixture looked too dry and added some more water... Despite this little mishap, the result was absolutely delicious and had everyone in the house fighting over it - I would definitely make again, but without adding extra water next time! - 14 Feb 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
