For gooier bars, leave out the 2 tablespoons of flour from the filling.
Corn syrup can be substituted with pure maple syrup. However, I do recommend using corn syrup because it is how the recipe was developed.
The vinegar helps to cut the sweetness of the recipe – therefore I do not recommend leaving it out.
Feel free to use currants, raisins or chopped walnuts, or leave them out. I typically use ½ cup currants and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
I really recommend waiting for the bars to cool fully before slicing so that they are less messy.
Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days after slicing. Bars can be frozen for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge.
Nutrition information is an estimate only. It is based on 1 bar, assuming the recipe is made with 1 cup of raisins and sliced into 15 equal-sized squares.
