CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS
These granola bars pack well for mid-day snacks or hiking trips. Vary the ingredients for variety or to make them more wholesome. I make two versions--this one if for my sweet-tooth husband--the other for myself, contains 1 c. dried fruit and nuts instead of chocolate chips and marshmallows. Be creative!

Steps:
- Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; line baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Set aside.
- Place oatmeal and rice cereal in a large bowl; stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, mix together brown sugar, oil, and honey. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a gentle boil. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add to oatmeal mixture; stir until oatmeal mixture is fully coated and well combined.
- Evenly pour oatmeal mixture into prepared baking dish; sprinkle with chocolate chips. When mixture is cool enough to touch, press down into pan. Let cool to room temperature. Cut into 16 (1-by-4-inch) bars. Granola bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week, and frozen up to six months.
Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. Using a mix of rolled oats, quick-cooking oats, and oat flour creates a chewy and flavorful granola bar.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the granola bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the dough firmly into the pan. This will help the granola bars hold together.
- Bake the granola bars until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
These chewy chocolate chip granola bars are a delicious and nutritious snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying treat that the whole family will enjoy.
