I made these from your recipe. I had a package of dates left over from the last holiday season and this was a perfect recipe to use them. (thanks for converting from metric) They are fantastic. I didn't have an orange, so used lemon zest and I used butter. Great post.

My grandson (7) came home from school with a friend and these were gone in a flash. We made a second batch and added some chopped pecans with the date mixture. Great post!

Thanks for posting this recipe. Was looking for muesli bar type recipes for snacks at work and since this uses absolutely no sugar (relying instead on the sweetness of honey), I had to give it a shot. Nice, although I think my mixture was a little crumbly - still it's healthy, completely guilt-free AND tasty. Would be great for diabetics!

These were excellent. I got two small pieces, and my husband ate the rest!

Great post! This is just the kind of thing I look for. My husband eats no refined sugars (an allergy) so we buy honey 5 gallons at a time! I try to find recipes using honey instead of sugar. I am saving this one.
