having a gran{d}ola time.

Question: Can I make my own granola bars?

...

I tried to this afternoon with wonderful results.

Easy peasy, and cost friendly too.

I call mine Trail Mix Granola Bars-- you will see why in a minute.

...

Start with one part butter, to one part honey, to two parts brown sugar.

Place in a deep pot over medium heat.

Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Stir in granola, puffed rice cereal, and any other goodies-- I chose golden raisins, chocolate chips, and pretzel rods.

I waited for the mixture to cool until I added the chips-- so they would not melt. I just greased up my hands and pressed everything down into a cookie pan with a lip.

Refrigerate-- a good hour or so.

Dump pan onto a cutting board and cut into bars. It makes at least 20.

Enjoy one with a cold glass of milk. YUM.
