(the bars, pre-slicing...and yes, that piece missing was thanks to my need to sample ;))
These were so good, and didn't last long in our house! In fact, I think I ate just as many of these (or more) as Ryan. I had to make a second batch a few days later! They had a yummy peanut butter/honey flavor and the coconut and raisins were good additions. I can't wait to experiment with variations of this recipe!
