Peanut
Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
1 ½ cups
rolled oats, not quick
¾ cup
Special K Cereal (can use Rice Krispies if you want)
1/3 cup
chopped nuts
½ cup mini
chocolate chips
¼ tsp. salt
¼ cup peanut
butter
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown
sugar
¼ cup oil
1 ½ tsp.
vanilla
Mix oats,
cereal, nuts chips and salt in a bowl.
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix honey and brown sugar until brown
sugar dissolves. Don’t let it boil! Add peanut butter, stir for a minute and then
take off heat. Add oil and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients in bowl and
mix. Press in a 8x8 pan that has been
lined with parchment paper. If you haven’t
used parchment paper before, now is the time to try it. You will love it and not want to grease pans
again! You can even use a coupon and get
it on sale at Michael’s or JoAnn Fabric’s.
Wilton is the best brand to buy. Cook
for about 20 minutes at 325 degrees.
Take out and let cook for 5 minutes.
Cut into desired size and leave in pan to cool. After about 15 minutes, I cut the bars
again. If you wait until the bars cool
to cut them, they are too hard and won’t work well. But, if you forget, you can try cutting them
or just break them into pieces.
I can't believe how easy this is. Thanks for sharing...pinning!
