Chewy Granola Bars (another secret recipe!)
These are so delicious. I found this recipe from another blog and love-love-love them. I made them for some classmates and they were a BIG hit. These are loved by both kids and adults!!!

They tend to fall apart easily, so I usually add a little bit more butter or honey so the mix sticks a bit more which seems to help.

If you like crunchy granola bars, just bake them longer.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 c. Oats - quick rolled oats
1/2 c. Rice Krispies
1/4 c. coconut
1/2 c. M&M minis
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/4 c. honey
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Add all of the ingredients and mix together until combined. Press into a square 8×8 pan. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and score into bars. Let it set completely and then cut into bars.

Other Varieties to try (instead of M&M's):
Peanut Butter
Mini Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter & Mini Chocolate Chips
Almonds
Dried Cranberries
Dried Cranberries & Almonds (my favorite!)
