This was nice. A different texture than I was expecting but still tasty.

I made this recipe for the first time for a bake sale. Quite a few people bragged on it. Especially my husband. He loved it!

It was pretty good. It tasted like it was all brown sugar, though.

This recipe was very easy to make. My family thought they tasted like oatmeal raisin cookies.

A solid recipe. The bars are almost addicting thanks to the crunch of nuts and the cereal grains. Using electric mixer is obsolete here, since fork does the job well. And do grease the pan generously (it says lightly here to keep it 'generally nutritious').
