These are deeeelish! I just whipped up a batch in very little time, subbing a few ingredients where necessary: multigrain Cheerios for rice cereal, agave nectar for rice syrup, adding raisins along with cranberries, and some walnuts and sunflower seeds in place of a portion of the pecans. It’s great that they have no oil or margarine, only the healthier fats of the nuts. I love the sweet-salty taste of these bars – part of the lure of preservative-laden storebought ones. No more! I bet my family will love them too. Thanks for posting!

sarah (favaunt) – You can sub some an extra 3/4 cup oats and 3/4 cup rice cereal (or 1 1/2 cups multigrain cereal) for the nuts

cher – Not sure about the corn syrup…I don’t know if it hardens as much as the brown rice syrup. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, though…

These sound great! I love the fact that they have alot of the holiday flavors, perfect timing! Would corn syrup be a good substitute for the rice syrup?
Great job!

Aces. They love fantastic!

Haven’t seen Nutmeg in ages – I’ve missed it, infact.

Perfect! I’ve been searching for some good granola bar recipes to make my little junk food addict. Love the seasonal additions!

Both of those look great! I hate HFCS granola bars, but it seems the only way to get good ones these days is to make them yourself!
