    They wouldn't last that long round here! If I made a batch and took them into the office they'd be gone in two seconds flat :D

    Hi guys and gals :)

    I love baking but currently I buy munch Organix goodies cereal bars £2.09 for six bars :eek: it suddenly dawned on me this morning why on earth I was paying so much for them when I could make them myself saving almost £10 a month!!!

    I've done a search through the wonderfully created mega indexed thread and have found recipes for apple and oat slices and banana date bars both of which sound like something munch would happily eat.

    I was wondering if anyone had any other recipes they've used or heard of, I notice that both of these can be kept in the fridge but can't be frozen...if anyone knows of any recipes that could be frozen as well that would be doublely (sp?) great.

    Many thanks peeps :D
