Chocolate Chip No Bake Granola Bars

Granola bars are one of our favorite snacks to add to school lunches. This granola bar recipe uses oats, and creates the most delicious, chewy bars! One thing that I've found over the years is that granola bar recipes that call for granola as an ingredient tend to be more crunchy, and not a typical chewy granola bar (think, Quaker granola bars). These ones are made with quick oats, not granola, and come out nice and chewy. Originally shared in 2012, this is a tried and true recipe that our kids love!

Ingredients

• ▢ ¾ cup butter
• ▢ ¾ cup honey
• ▢ 1 cup brown sugar
• ▢ 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
• ▢ 6 cup quick cooking oats
• ▢ 3 cup rice crispy cereal
• ▢ 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

• Heat butter, honey and brown sugar over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and set a timer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla.

  In a large bowl combine oats and rice cereal. 

  Pour butter/sugar mixture over oats and cereal and stir. Let cool for 1-2 minutes.

  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

  Spread granola bar mixture into pan. Spray hands and press firmly to distribute the mixture evenly.

  Sprinkle with chocolate chips and use a spatula to press the chocolate chips firmly into the granola bar mixture.

  Refrigerate until firm. Slice into bars.

Notes

Make sure to use quick oats, not old fashioned rolled oats.

Make sure to allow mixture to boil for a full 2 minutes or granola bars may not set up completely.

Do not boil for more than 2 minutes or the granola bars may have a hard candy texture.
