Question: Can I make my own granola bars?
…
I tried to this afternoon with wonderful results.
Easy peasy, and cost friendly too.
I call mine Trail Mix Granola Bars– you will see why in a minute.
…
Start with one part butter, to one part honey, to two parts brown sugar.
Place in a deep pot over medium heat.
Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Stir in granola, puffed rice cereal, and any other goodies– I chose golden raisins, chocolate chips, and pretzel rods.
I waited for the mixture to cool until I added the chips– so they would not melt. I just greased up my hands and pressed everything down into a cookie pan with a lip.
Refrigerate– a good hour or so.
Dump pan onto a cutting board and cut into bars. It makes at least 20.
Enjoy one with a cold glass of milk. YUM.

Wow these look far too good! My mouth is watering just looking at the photos.
They’re not the healthiest things that’s for sure, but I’m going to eat cereal bars anyway so it’s better to have homemade ones right?!

I’m going to try modifying this recipe to reduce the sugar a little. I think I can use Brown Sugar Splenda instead of sugar with the same results.

I need to try this! I will have to switch out ingredients for lower sugar content and gluten free ingredients for my kidlet, but this gives me a map to follow as I make detours! :>
