These granola bars are delicious! I love the texture of them, and they don't crumble apart like others I've tried. It's so easy to whip up a batch or two and divide them into little ziploc bags to keep in the pantry for easy snacks.
Recipe adapted from Money Saving Mom
2 1/2 c. crisp rice cereal (I use organic chocolate rice crispies, but regular will work too)
1 3/4 c. quick oats
1/4 c. wheat germ, wheat bran, or ground flaxseed
1/2 c. additional mix-in ingredients optional (chopped nuts, raisins, coconut, other dried fruit, etc.)
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. mini chocolate chips
Combine first 4 dry ingredients in a bowl. In a saucepan, mix the honey, brown sugar, and salt. Over medium-low heat, stir until the mixture comes to a complete boil for 30-60 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well. Press into a 9x13 pan and let cool for 5-10 minutes before pressing mini chocolate chips into the top. Let cool before cutting into bars.
They also freeze well!
