Valchemist....Review: Hermits from Eating Well

[Mamasue]

These hermits worked up quickly. I would call them Hermit Bars though. The Hermits that I am accustomed to baking are thinner like a cookie which tend to dry out if you don't keep in a tight container. These Hermit bars are very moist, more like a gingerbread but fudgy like a brownie, spicy and very good. I did not have apple butter, so I substituted with Lighter-Bake which is a oil/fat replacement. The nutritional analysis should be the same with the Lighter-Bake. Would I make these again....you bet! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

I want to try the Fig Bars and also the Key Lime Bars soon.

Mamasue,

Thanks for the review! So quick. I thought I was going to be the first one to post a review on the bar cookies...I'll be making the date pecan bars either tomorrow or early next week. Of course I will post my review then.

But now I want to make the hermits, and the blueberry ones that chrisi made. And oh, all the rest of them too! Poor DH. He is going to have a sugar overload if I make everything I want to make in the next couple of weeks.

Using the lighter bake was a good idea. I have used it before and it works well.

Thanks for getting me motivated to make a few of these recipes! They have been tucked away in my Eating Well magazines for too long!!
