I "borrowed" this recipe from the kitchen at my college because I fell in love with these bars. They are so much better than store-bought, and you can add or subtract ingredients as you wish. They make a perfect on-the-go snack; a much healthier alternative to chips or cookies, especially for kids (Great for lunch boxes!)

16 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4-1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
raisins (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease or spray 9 x 13 pan.
2
In large bowl, beat brown sugar, sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
3
Blend in honey, vanilla and egg.
4
In separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
5
Add flour mixture gradually to sugar mixture and beat until combined.
6
By hand, stir in almonds, chocolate chips and oats until well mixed.
7
Press mixture firmly in bottom of greased pan, and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden brown.
8
Cool and cut into squares.

These were my first attempt at making granola bars and they were delicious. I didn't want to go and buy a box of rice crispies so I just used fibre one cereal instead - delicious!

These are great! I didn't add the chocolate chips or raisins. The choc chips would have been great but I liked them as is. I might cut down the sugar next time.

This is a most excellent recipe. My family said they were better than any granola bar from a store! Very easy to make. You could do it with your kids if you have some. Note: I cut the sugar to 1 cup and used organic, I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white, used only half the chocolate chips and replaced the other half with coconut. Nevertheless! Chewy, moist, and flavorful and very sweet! A big must if you're looking for that granola bar! Thanks!

delicious and fun! i like this recipe because it doesn't call for corn syrup (but i did reduce the amount of sugar) and allows for lots of combinations like my favorite: dark chocolate chips, coconut and dried cherries.
