My kids just LOVED these Chewy Granola Squares. They are such a perfect little snack to send with them to school and so easy to make. Give them a try! I know I will be making them again and again! I feel much better about them eating these than the granola bars they are always asking for at the grocery store. I wish I would have taken a picture of the finished bars (the last pic is right before they went into the oven). I made these after I put the kids to bed one night and they disappeared so fast the next day I never got around to it!
Chewy Granola Squares
2 1/2 c. Quick Rolled Oats
1/2 c. Rice Krispies
1/4 c. Coconut
1/2 c. M&M Mini's (you could sub chocolate chips, marshmallows, raisins, or anything your heart desires)
1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 c. Butter, softened
1/4 c. Honey
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Add all of the ingredients together and mix until combined. Press into a 9x13 inch pan (you may want to line with Parchment paper first for easy removal). Bake at 350* for 18-20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and score into bars. Let set completely, then cut into bars.
Oh yum! I will have to try these over Christmas break.
ReplyDeleteThe little M&M Mini's you put together sounds delicious and I have been craving chewy bars lately.
