Homemade granola bars?!?! I was so excited when my sister found a floating around Pinterest... I was getting a little tired of switching between Quaker Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars and Peanut Butter Nature Valley Bars... this is a PERFECT combination of both and super easy to make!
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup old fashioned or quick oats
1/2 cup rice crispy cereal
1 cup chopped pretzels
mini chocolate chips
In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla. Over medium heat, stir until it starts to bubble. Once it starts bubbling, cook for two minutes (continually stirring.)
In a large bowl combine oats, rice crispy, and pretzels.
Once the peanut butter mixture is done with its 2 minute cook time, pour in the oats, and stir.
Place mixture in a lined cookie sheet (parchment paper or wax paper will work.) I used a serving spatula to form the mixture into the pan.
Sprinkle with as much chocolate chips as you'd like and quickly press them in. Then, place in the fridge to cool (about an hour.)
Store in the fridge... plus they are the best cold!
Happy snacking!!
