Samantha's Granola Bars

Having a peanut/ tree nut allergy in the house makes buying granola bars impossible!  So, I took matters into my own hands and made my own!  I have made them with the Guittard's white chocolate chips and semi sweet chocolate chips.  I have also used David's sunflower seeds (shelled) to add the 'nutty' flavor to them.  I personally enjoy them plain with the Guittard's semi sweet chocolate chips.

Samantha's Granola Bars

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees

Grease a 9 x13 cake pan and set aside.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and toast 2 cups of quick oats (plain) for 10 min

While the oats are toasting, melt 2 tbl spoons of butter, 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1 tbl spn of honey, 1 tbl spn of syrup, 2 tbl spoons of brown sugar in a sauce pan on low.

In a separate bowl pour 1 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies and cup of chocolate chips.

When the oats are toasted and the marshmallows are melted and stirred, add the oats to the Krispies and the choc chips and then pour the melted mix on top.  Stir a few times- until everything is coated- and pour into the 9 x 13 cake pan.  Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the mix and press slightly to pack them into pan so they will be easy to slice.

Let them cool, slice and put in bags or wrap in plastic wrap.  We keep ours in the refrigerator,  but it is not necessary.  Enjoy!
