The bars are rather basic, with only a mild flavor. A great base to build on if you want to make a more flavorful version. Can't beat the price per bar though.

Is this supposed to make and 8x8, a 9x9, an 8x12, a 9x13 pan? Jelly Roll Pan? I'm presuming the pan must be greased or sprayed to prevent sticking.

I tested this recipe with some friends who were wanting me to make them granola bars. It was very easy to follow (the recipe is accurate) and tasted good. My only other comment is that the bars are very peanutty...this is not a problem in my book, I quite liked it, just don't be expecting Nature Valley granola bars.
