I like these granola bars because they are chewy...not cakelike, not crunchy....nice and chewy. I've tried others, but my kids always ask for these. The recipe is from TOH. Ingredients:
1 (10 1/2 ounce) package large marshmallows |
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup corn syrup |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 cups oats |
1 cup crisp rice cereal (rice krispies) |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup sunflower seeds |
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped |
1/2 cup raisins |
2 tablespoons wheat germ |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, rice cereal, chocolate chips, coconut, sunflowers, peanuts, raisins, wheat germ, and sesame seeds.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows, peanut butter, butter, corn syrup and vanilla.
3. Microwave the marshmallow mixture at 70% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until well-blended.
4. Quicky stir the dry ingredients in to the marshmallow mixture. You'll have to work quickly as the mix will get gooey fast.
5. Spread into a greased 13-in. X 9-in. X 2-in. baking pan. To flatten the granola bars, I spray the BOTTOM of a second baking pan with cooking spray, nest this second pan on top of the pan with the mix and press down hard.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes.
7. Cool and cut into 24 bars.
