Easy Granola bars
2 1/2 c. crispy rice cereal
2 c. quick cooking oats
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. packed brown sugar (i’m cutting to 1/4 c.)
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together rice cereal, oats, and raisins. Set aside.
2. Lightly grease a 9×13 pan (I use a 7×11 in.)
3. Combine brown sugar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just boiling, then remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until creamy. Pour over cereal mixture and coat well.
4. Press into prepared pan (I use wet hands & it doesn’t stick). Allow to cool and cut into bars.
You can use whatever you have on hand in place of the raisins: sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, walnuts, craisins. Use you imagination!
