Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

Submitted by BerrySweet

"Easy, healthy granola bars. Can substitute semi sweet chocolate chips for the milk chocolate, or do half chocolate chips & half peanut butter chips. These hold together fairly nicely and can be frozen. Posting to keep here for safe keeping."

These are great! Easy to make and my kids loved making and eating them. They come out a little thin though so use a smaller pan.

The recipe is good. It seems like its a BASIC recipe. Its better to add whatever you want in it to make it much more tastier or else, its just plain

Love these granola bars! Easy to make and great for snacks, especially through the work day! I like them better cold out of the refrigerator!
