Hi! We made these this morning…the kids had a blast, and we love the taste. However, even though I packed it in tightly and let it cool completely, it just crumbles apart when I try to cut it into bars. The only thing I did differently was use 1/2 cup of chopped nuts instead of the 1/2 cup of dried fruit. Any ideas of what I should do differently to get it to stick together?
Erin – Try cutting back on the "liquid" ingredients just a bit or add a little more granola. I have found that the humidity affects them too. Sometimes we just eat it with a spoon. This typically happens when I haven't measured well. 🙂

Great, will try that! Thanks!
I want to omit the peanut butter. How do I adjust the recipe for this?
Hmmmm…I am sorry. I don't know what you would do instead because the pb is used as a liquid and you need that for them to stick together.
