Great with a few adjustments

I used unbleached flour, brown rice syrup for the refined white sugar, and Smart Balance buttery spread to get rid of the fat. Very nice and very healthy, especially if you are on a very restricted heart diet.

Tastes great!

These were great. My boyfriend and I thought that these would be a great trade-off for buying premade "breakfast bars." They have a "breakfasty" taste to them. Grab two of these on the way out the door and you're good. Being college students the butter is a little too expensive for our budget, so I had to substitute margarine instead and that made them less healthy. We also used a 9x9 pan which made the bars seem a little bigger. Overall rating 5 because while they are not the healthiest they stil incorporate fiber into your diet and NO PRESERVATIVES!

Healthified raspberry bars

I made these two days ago, and they are still delicious. The only difference was, I didn't have the raspberry preserve on hand, but strawberry. I plan on using apricot preserve next time. Also, I toasted the nuts, and used even less than the 1/2 cup. Delicious!

tiny bars

OK, cutting a 8x8 pan into 24 bars is pushing it - even 16 is pretty small. A 1 inch by 1.3 inch bar for 130 cals is not good if you want a satisfying low cal treat. Try replacing half or 2/3 of the butter with applesauce (you can do this with almost any bar recipe with no real detriment), use half splenda if you are OK with using splenda, and use reduced sugar jam. Then cut them into 16 reasonable sized bars for 135 cals/bar!
