Granola Grabbers - Tuesdays with Dorie



Looks good for a bedtime snack. However, I'm not raving about the Granola Grabbers - it's just my personal taste. I'm a white bread and butter and lots of chocolate type and am not into health foods. The recipe is easy peasy and has all sorts of wholesome foods in it - granola (I made it myself from a recipe in the P&Q section); dried fruit; and so on and so on and the cookie is nice and moist. Maybe it was the wheatgerm flavor I didn't like and I think the peanut flavor was too predominant. I ate the pair of Grabbers in the photo so I should not be criticising too much. Used another good tip in the P&Q to soak the raisins and use dried cherries as well to reduce some of the sweetness.

The ice cream torte for next week's TWD promises to be rather divine - I'm looking forward to it.

it's so funny - i'm not a health-food person either, by any stretch of the imagination, but i liked these a lot. maybe because of the (nearly) 2 sticks of butter. :)

Sorry these weren't quite to your liking, but hopefully next week's is right up your alley - nothing "health food" there!

Sorry you didn't care for it. I guess they are not for everyone. I can help you finish them off, if you would like!

I'm sorry you didn't like them more. What if we made them less healthy? ;-)

The presentation is really pretty in your picture. Sorry that they weren't a hit. I really liked everything about this one.
