These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of dried fruit, but I loved these bars. The fruit is chewy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the crunchy nuts.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a few bananas or apples that need to be used up, and these bars are the perfect way to do it.
