For this recipe I diced the dates & chopped the dired cranberries, then used a rounded 1/2 cup of the berries & added about 8 more dates then indicated! This made for some GREAT BARS, which we thoroughly enjoyed & will make again & again! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the All New Zaar Cookbooks Tag cooking game] -
We really didn't care for the orange juice in this recipe. Thanks for posting. -
LOL, SAj, I was going to post these off the same bag ~ I love the flavor combo! They make good breakfast bars, too...ahem, if one were to eat them for breakfast, I mean... ;o) I've thought about subbing 1/3 of the flour with oatmeal too (even more breakfast-y!); maybe next time.
