I'm so disappointed with these granola bars. They're nothing like the picture.

These granola bars were a complete disaster. They were burnt on the bottom and raw in the middle.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars turned out really bland. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

The bars were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of oil or butter next time.

These granola bars are a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I found that the bars were a little too chewy for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of dried fruit, but these bars were surprisingly good. The apricots and cranberries are not too overpowering.

I added a little bit of chopped walnuts to my bars for extra crunch. They turned out great!

These granola bars are so easy to make, and they're a great way to use up leftover oats.
