You know how sometimes you prepare yourself for something to taste SUPER good, and then it's only "Meh"?
This is one of those recipes you should make. HOWEVER, when you're eating it, remember that it's GOOD for you, and then you won't be pissed when it doesn't taste like buttery oatmeal raisin cookies.
We made these bars this weekend, and shared them with a couple of BROHAMS who agreed that they tasted pretty darn good for something pretty darn healthful.
