These energy bars didn't hold together very well. They were difficult to cut into bars, and they crumbled easily.

I found these energy bars to be a bit dry. I would have liked them better with a little more moisture.

These energy bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred them with less honey.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I still enjoyed these energy bars. The honey and oats help to balance out the peanut butter flavor.
