These are quite nice - bit overloaded with fruit so they fell apart a bit. Will make again and use more oats and flour next time to balance out the amount of fruit. Nice with a cuppa tea. - 06 Feb 2010
It felt so retro making these but I forgot how good a home made muesli bar could taste. I didnt use the sugar-the honey is enough - 10 Jul 2009
Great flavours however it was a bit too chewy. I'd add less oats next time. - 02 Aug 2014
