Yummy Granola Bars

The Yummiest Granola Bars Ever!!!!

Granola Bars

1 1/2 cups rice krispies (up to 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Optional add ins
1/2 cup raisins, chopped nuts, seeds, flax, coconut
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

  1. Prepare a greased 11 x 7 inch or 13 x 9 inch baking dish (thinner bar).
  2. In a large bowl combine rice krispies, oats and optional add in.
  3. In a saucepan stir the honey and brown sugar until just at a boil.
  4. Immediately removed from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
  5. Pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl; mix to combine.
  6. Mix in mini chocolate chips, working fast. The mixture hardens quickly.
  7. Transfer themixture into prepared baking dish, then using slightly wet hands push evenly down into the pan.
  8. While the mixture is still soft, for easier slicing take a sharp knife and slice into desired size bars.
Yummy! They make 20 bars, 100 calories each. 1.6 grams fat, fiber 1%, sugars 11.7g Protein 1.5g

I'm going to talk to my friend and find out how to make these fiber bars, because they are so stinkin good I'd eat them instead of fiber one bars.
