Description: 

A quick and easy no-bake sweet and chewy granola bar recipe with chocolate and peanut butter

Yield: 

30-40 bars, depending on size

Ingredients: 

5 cups quick oats
1 package (about 5 ounces) graham crackers, crushed
4 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 1/2 cup coconut
2 cups chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
20-21 ounces marshmallow creme OR marshmallows*

Instructions: 

1. In a large bowl, mix together oats, graham crackers, crisp rice cereal, coconut, and chocolate chips.

2. Over low to medium-low heat, melt together the peanut butter, honey, butter, oil, and marshmallow creme, heating until almost boiling. Stir often and watch closely so as not to scorch.

3. Pour liquid over dry ingredients and stir to coat. Press into two well-buttered 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pans or other pans of your choice.** Allow to cool and cut into bars or squares.

Additional Notes: 

*I use marshmallow creme, as I am unable to find a source nearby for marshmallows containing kosher gelatin.

**Can use two 9 x 13-inch pans for thicker bars.

This recipe was submitted to our website by Katie in Ohio. She writes, "I found this recipe for super chewy, very sweet, really yummy granola bars at the MCC Connections thrift store in Kidron.  Ozzie [her son] helped smash the graham crackers and then he helped mix the dry ingredients in a HUGE bowl."

Preparation Time: 

10 minutes

Cooking Time: 

5-10 minutes

Tammy's Review: 

These are really sweet and tasty granola bars! I think they're more of a dessert than a breakfast item, but if you like sweet things you'll love these! They're simple to make and have an excellent flavor! My rating: 10/10

They are THAT good

We don't care for coconut so last time we omitted it and bumped up the other ingredients; this time we just omitted and left everything else the same. Both ways were good.

Mine don't seem to stay together that well, but I can eat them with a spoon, or drink them with a straw if I have to. (No, mine aren't that soft.)
