and to get to know her even more!!!
I seriously wasn’t sure how I was going to pick just one recipe to make this month.
And I will eventually try them all, but for today
the No Bake Granola Bars won out.
Mostly because it was over 90 degrees the week I made them,
and after a day at the pool I was feeling kind of lazy like!
No bakes it is!!!
Plus, my kids eat granola bars like they are going out of style,
so I decided that making my own is cheaper and better than the processed cheap ones
I have been feeding them.
I’m not sure if I will ever buy another box from the store again!!!
These were so delicious and fresh!
And I love being able to throw whatever I have in my cupboard at the time
for new varieties!!! So many things you could do with this recipe.
I’m thinking a peanut butter cup version needs to happen asap 🙂
Love me my pb cups!!!
This time I pretty much stuck to the recipe…
not much you can change up except your mix-ins.
(Next time I am thinking about using coconut oil though.)
That I had fun digging through my cupboard for goodies.
I came out with mini m&m’s, mini chocolate chips,
mini marshmallow bits, and chopped peanuts!!!
Why yes, I do love all things mini!
These were fantastic and I can’t wait to make more,
with lots more fun flavor combo’s!
Thank you Amy for so many great recipes and a fun blog to read!!!
You are the bomb girl!
No bake granola bars are a fun way to enjoy a snack in the afternoon. Have fun with the mix ins and create your own fun flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 cup rice krispies cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini M&M’s
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallow bits
Instructions
- Combine the oats and cereal and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and honey. Stir over medium heat until melted and the mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Add the oats mixture and stir until coated. Let cool for a few minutes before stirring in all the mix ins.
- Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Make sure you really press it down so everything sticks together. Let cool on the counter for about 2 hours before cutting into 24 bars. Store in a tightly sealed container.
