Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Hey Bri!
This is what I was buying ingredients for when I ran into you at the store. I estimate it cost me about 7 dollars to make about 3 pounds of granola bars. They taste yummy! I had to think of a way to cut down on how much I was spending on snacks for your brother. I think next time I will try making them with the raisin and granola cereal and adding a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon.

Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup honey

½ cup butter

6 cups granola 9 I used Quaker 100% Natural

½ cup chocolate chips, optional (must be frozen)

Directions:

Line a 9 X 13 dish with foil. Pour granola in large bowl and toss with 3/8 cup hot water.

Combine in heavy Dutch oven butter, peanut butter and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook , stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Toss granola again before adding to peanut butter mixture. If adding chocolate chips wait about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, letting mixture cool before adding the chocolate chips. Press flat in pan, refrigerate until chilled. Cut into bars.
