DIABETIC GRAPE NUTS BARS
I made these for my Baci ("grandmother" in Polish) because she has to watch her blood sugar. Loving her with all my being makes me worry about her well-being. I decided to try this recipe (and another Oatmeal Bar recipe) and give her an alternative to eating baked goods for a "quick fix." She preferred the other recipe and recommends this recipe to those who like Grape Nuts. She says the bars reminded her of Grape Nuts pudding.

GRAPE-NUTS PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW BARS
Snack, treat or perhaps breakfast bar! Yummy and semi healthy! Yes it has sugar, but grape nuts are nutritious! Grape-Nuts have natural fiber, whole grains, antioxidants, high in iron and folic acid! I bought a few boxes on sale but never want to eat them, lol! On the Post grape-nuts box it had a recipe for peanut butter bars which tasted okay, but I thought marshmallow would make them so much better and was right! So we adapted the recipe to meet my families likes. I think adding chocolate would of course be awesome too, but have not tried. So alter away! The recipe can be doubled. Original recipe said reduced fat peanut butter, and had an optional adding dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins or cherries adding at the time of the cereal.

Steps:
- Grease an 8x8 pyrex dish (or if doubling the recipe a 13x9).
- Microwave peanut butter, corn syrup and sugar in a medium size bowl on HIGH for 1minute. Stir and then stir in marshmallows and microwave 1more minute. Stir, if melted move on otherwise continue cooking 1minute at a time.
- Add Grape-Nuts cereal; mix well.
- Press cereal mixture firmly onto bottom of 8x8 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cool completely.
- Cut cereal mixture into bars. I kept in pyrex with the lid on but you can wrap individual bars with plastic wrap, store at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful bar.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for a richer flavor.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a 9x13 inch jelly roll pan.
- Be sure to press the granola mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan so that it doesn't crumble.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown and set in the center.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These Grape Nuts bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and nutty crunch, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
