I think I munched on M&M's a little too much when I was making these because I was all chocolated out when I finally got these bars cooled and cut! But the next day I had some again, and boy were they good! I did leave the coconut out, and I cut them small too because they are very rich. I like some of the other options I've read in the comments like using double M&M's/no chips, or peanut butter chips - yum!

I went on a Granola Bar making spree.....these seemed a little to sinful to be considered healthy so I beefed them up with hemp hearts and crushed nuts. I also substituted the peanut butter with almond butter and added a little applesauce to the mix. Still don't think these were too healthy but they were AMAZING!
