Submitted by Chef Kelli

"My daughter and I worked on creating this recipe for a 4-H exhibit. It is unique because it uses orange marmalade as a sweetner and Craisins."

I found a granola bar I like! I have nothing but good things to say about these: The orange marmalade gives a terrific subtle orange flavor that goes great with the cinnamon; they set up/cut nicely. I baked for about 22 min. and they were brown on top. The outside pieces were crunchier and the inside chewier (good both ways). The egg white/sugar mixture makes a syrupy mixture that coats the mixture nicely. Thanks so much for posting this fab granola bar recipe. Roxygirl
