This is a wonderful quick treat. It has about half the fat of the original recipe and is even better than before. I like to add chocolate chips and dried cranberries. They add great texture and flavor. Chocolate and cranberries are a tasty combination. In another version, I add lots of raisins and nuts to make a chocolate granola bar.<\/em><\/p>\n
