SUPER EASY: Chewy Granola Bars


I left work early today. I do not feel well. I feel like I have onions living in my nose. If I did feel good enough to get off my couch I would make these Chewy Granola Bars. Anne's teacher friend asked for the recipe on these yummy bad boys because she enjoyed the ones I sent in to school with Anne.
Here is the famous Chewy Granola Bars. Seriously, if you're not sick or lookin' for something to do, you should it.

Chewy Granola Bars

"Extra chewy granola bars. You can make them your own by picking different ingredients to add in! Try using any combination of miniature chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, raisins, chopped dried fruits, candy-coated chocolate pieces, chopped nuts, etc."

INGREDIENTS:
4 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups miniature semisweet
chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl combine the oats, flour, baking soda, vanilla, butter or margarine, honey and brown sugar. Stir in the 2 cups assorted chocolate chips, raisins, nuts etc.

3. Lightly press mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes then cut into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing or serving.
