Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars image

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!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: The quality of your chocolate chips will make a big difference in the taste of your bars. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cacao.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking the bars will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

Grandma's chocolate chip bars are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. With their chewy texture, gooey chocolate chips, and sweet oat topping, these bars are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. Follow these tips to ensure that you can create perfect batch for you and your loved ones!
