Time 22m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies (for a firmer bar increase up to 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup or 1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup reduced-fat peanut butter (or can use regular peanut butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dark raisin (or can use either 1/2 cup chopped nuts or 1/2 cup seeds or 1/2 cup coconut)
1/3 cup mini chocolate chip (to prevent melting refrigerate or freeze the chocolate chips before mixing in)

Steps:

  • lightly grease 11 x 7-inch, can use a 13 x 9-inch baking dish but you will have a thinner bar.
  • In a large bowl combine Rice Krispies cereal, oats and raisins.
  • In a saucepan stir the corn syrup or honey and brown sugar until just at a boil.
  • Immediately remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
  • Pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl; mix to combine.
  • Mix in mini chocolate chips (if using) work fast the mixture hardens quickly.
  • Transfer the mixture into prepared baking dish, then using slightly wet hands push evenly down into the pan.
  • While the mixture is still soft, for easier slicing take a sharp knife and slice into desired size bars.
  • Chill until firm.

The granola bars didn't hold together very well. I had to press them down really hard to get them to stick together.

These granola bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I still enjoyed these granola bars. The chocolate chips and honey balance out the peanut butter flavor.

These granola bars are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. They're a great way to satisfy my cravings for something sweet without overdoing it.
