ALMOND BUTTER HONEY NUT O'S BARS
This just came to me in an email from Cascadian Farms and I am posting it here for safekeeping. The recipe is credited to Shaina Olmanson. I found them rather sweet, so I will probably reduce the honey/sugar. Instead of making a drizzle I just added chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into the mixture, which was yummy but again added to the sweetness. Experiment! Let me know what you change to make it work for your family :). Time does not include cooling time.
