I was asked to find some fast and healthy snack for a women's meeting in my church. I have tried several recipes and a few just weren't what I would call tasty,(of course I am the sugar queen) but when I found this recipe I knew I had hit the mark! Wow! They are soooo good and have healthy ingredients too! (I am not sure about the peanut butter chips but you can cut down on them or leave them out entirely if you choose.)
They are especially easy to make because you can buy granola (in any degree of healthy you desire) and just add it to the mix, pour into a pan, cool and eat! This makes a great snack for kids who are home for the summer.
Bring the butter, sugar, and honey in a pan to a boil and simmer over medium low heat about 2 minutes.
Add granola and rice cereal and stir until it is well coated.
