Healthy Hermit Bars image

Hermit bars are basically an old fashioned spice cookie baked into a soft, chewy bar filled with raisins and nuts. They're said to date back to the late 1800s when the wives of New England sailors would make these for their husbands to take out to sea because they traveled so well. These are made with 100% whole grains, Omega rich almonds and walnuts, and magnesium rich molasses and Demerara sugar.

These bars were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

These bars were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out very well. The texture was weird and they didn't taste very good.

I found these bars to be a bit bland. I think they needed more chocolate or nuts.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.
