This is great stuff. So healthy. I used chopped almonds because I didn't have any slivered, coconut oil, and dried cherries. Cooked on parchment paper to avoid the Pam spray. I cooked it a total of 45 minutes because it seemed too wet, but it dried nice and crunchy so I probably didn't need to cook it that long. Made for CQ 14. Second time I added milled flaxseed and it soaked up a lot of the fluid and never got crisp. Threw that batch out. Next time I put 1/3 cup chocolate chips in the hot syrup and stirred until melted. Nice and chocolaty.
