I have had a few people ask me when I am going to start up my "What's For Dinner Wednesday's" posts again. I suppose now that it's getting cooler and am back in the mode of cooking more I can try to swing it. Today I made these awesome bars that my friend Cami brought on our trip to Boston. So, So, good. . . Healthy. . . not a lot of crap in them like the ones you buy. . . EASY to make. . . & my kids LOVED them. I packaged each bar up in single snack bags so they each think they are getting a cool treat. Gotta try them. Really you can add anything from coconut, different cereals, butterscotch chips. . . whatever. Give them a try.
Granola Bars
2 c. oats
1 c. rice chex
1 c. wheat chex
1 c. wheaties/bran flakes
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c. honey (or 1/2 c. honey and no corn syrup)
1/4 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1. In large bowl crush the chex and wheaties, then add the oats and chocolate chips.
2. In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, corn syrup and honey.
3. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
4. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla; blend until smooth.
5. Pour over cereal mixture; mix well.
6. Pour into 13" x 9" pan ( I lightly spray with non-stick spray)
7. Push down firmly all over the pan; really squish it in good.
8. Cool, cut into bars.
