Yum!! Just finished making these and they are great. I changed the recipe a bit, and glad I wrote down what I did so I can duplicate it, I hope. I used a combo of dried cranberries, cherries (a lot of these), pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds and wheat germ for the dried fruit/nut mix. My sunflower seeds have been in the freezer too long, so they aren't the freshest, and the bars are still great! I didn't have the sticky bun sugar, so I used the substitution. But I did NOT use the additional 1/3 cup sugar. They are plenty sweet enough for our family. I might even us less sugar the next time. I used Grade B maple syrup instead of honey or corn syrup and it gave the bars a subtle maple flavor.I have tried lots of granola bar recipes through the years, and this one is the best! Winning recipe! Thanks!!!
