They're about the same amount of calories as a regular granola bar, but so much more tasty and satisfying, and I have control over the ingredients. I make these frequently and play around with different fruit/nut/chocolate chip combinations- I love using the peanut butter/chocolate chip combos as well. I make a whole batch and freeze the squares individually to thaw one by one throughout the next couple of weeks. (30 seconds in the microwave, and they come out warm, with melty chocolate chips) These are one of my favorite treats- great for snacks or dessert.

Dallas - You could use any kind of granola, or small crunchy cereal to replace the grape nuts. Kitty – Sure! oat bran would work just fine.

And also same as above comment, can I substitute something for the flax seed as I don't have any?

You will want to "score" them carefully with a sharp knife immediately after you take them out of the oven so that they are easier to cut (without breaking/crumbling) once they have cooled.

And they're not smothered in a coating of chocolate. Are these bars crunchy or chewy? They look so much nicer than store bought granola bars. And they’re not smothered in a coating of chocolate.
