A Tasty, Chewy Granola Bar Recipe
Taste of Home
I give this eight thumbs up!!! Wait, what? Well, Homie, Kylee and I loved it and so did Hannah, Ky’s friend, who stopped by to have dinner with us. It’s SUPER good and easy to make! You can make many changes to this recipe to suit the tastes of your family. We prefer the chocolate chips, as oppose to the craisins, but you might want to use sunflower seeds, or butterscotch chips. Whatever you choose, make it and watch it disappear!
