I have mentioned to several of you that I have this great recipe for chewy granola bars. Well, I made some today just so I could share them with you. The original recipe is found here. They are so easy, I double the recipe.
1. In a bowl (that can withstand some heat) mix 4 cups quick oats (not rolled) and 2 cups crispy rice.
2. In a large sauce pan mix 1 cube butter (not pictured because I used 1/2 c. oil. Butter tastes better but oil can be used in a pinch), 1/2 cup honey and 2/3 c. brown sugar (or 2/3 c. sugar and 2 t. molasses).
3. Bring to a rolling boil. Turn it down to medium heat and boil for two more minutes.
4. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Then pour syrup over dry ingredients and mix well until all the oats have been combined.
5. Press into a greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips over the top and gently press in. They are ready to eat when the chocolate has set back up. I sometimes use the fridge to help with that because I have no patience. But careful because the are a bit tricky to cut once they are cooled.
There you go. A quick snack from (mostly) food storage items.
I'm sure the three boys that live at your house loved it!
ReplyDeleteIn a sense, to compare these to a Tootsie Roll is like comparing homemade chicken soup to Campbells - for all appearances they are alike, but one taste and you never go back.chewy tubes india
