Chewy Granola Energy Bars

The kids LOVE granola bars.

 

I pinned a recipe that looked pretty yummy.

We tried it out and they are quite good!

Chewy Granola Energy Bars

 

2 1/2 cups quick rolled oats

1/2 cup Rice Krispies

1/4 cup coconut

1/2 cup mini M & M candies

1/2 cup chopped peanuts ( left these out)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp ground flax ( left this out-didn't have any!)

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 egg

 

 

Preheat oven to 350.

Spray a 9x9 pan with Pam.

Combine all ingredients and press into prepared pan.

 

Bake for 18-20 minutes.

 

Let cool for 5 minutes and score the bars.

Cool completely and then cut the bars.

 

 

The kids LOVED these!!!!!!

I have a request to make these again for "Deer Camp."
You know, for when they force themselves to be out in the cold waiting for "the big one" to come by.
At least they'll have something yummy to eat!
