I'm not a huge fan of raisins, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate flavor is dominant, and the raisins add a nice touch of sweetness.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover oats. I always have a bag of oats in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them for.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the walnuts. They turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
