Pistachio Lovers Granola Bars

I've been making homemade granola bars for my family for a couple years now and this is becoming one of my all time personal favorites. Use it as a crust for pies, put a scoop of ice cream on top, crumble it up in yogurt or eat it by itself for a yummy snack. Also freezes well!!
