Very good! I cut recipe down to make a 9 x 9 pan (I used just the egg yolk to make "1/2 egg"). I used chocolate chips, but will try dried cranberries next time. Great sweet treat that isn't too high in anything. Made for Fall 2011 PAC game. -
Big hit in this house! Anything the 18 mo will chomp on that isn't loaded with bad for her stuff is good enough for me. I used craisins in place of the chocolate chips, and since all I have is a lousy airbake pan, this took about 21 minutes to be all the way done in my oven. I lined the pan with parchment and slid these out onto a board to cut. I think 27 is the perfect amount to cut this into as well... Not too small and not too large. Thanks for sharing! -
This was so good! I will definitely be making this again... maybe immediately. I have been making my own granola for some time now...this is the best one for my needs. I am a dancer, and need something to get me through hours of rehearsal... that I can eat quickly and gives me energy. This was the easiest, quickest, I had everything already in stock, and delicious! I cheated a little bit, I added some salt, a drop of vanilla, and more chocolate chips/peanut chips than the recipe called for (I just can't help myself)... next batch will be healthy and have some fruits and nuts and stuff.. maybe! I can't wait to try different combinations. Thank you Tootsie for the great recipe!

Definitely the easiest granola bar recipe I've tried... and honestly, the best! I followed exactly.... my oven also took about 20 minutes. I might also try with craisins or PB chips next time -- thanks so much for sharing, it's a keeper!

Very yummy, very chewy, and very easy! I only ended up having enough for about a 9x9 pan (which was already occupied) so I just spread it out on my bigger pan, but it turned out just fine. I also added more chocolate chips (I can never have enough chocolate). I will be making this again! :)
