Chewy Granola Chip Bars - 5 Ingredients!

     I know I have been saying on many recipes that they are fast and easy, but it needs to be said again for these bars. With only 5 ingredients and a no bake recipe you know they have to be quick!

      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.  

Press the mixture in a 11 x 7 inch parchment lined pan.  Sprinkle both flavors of chips over the granola bars and let mixture cool.  Lift the bars out of the pan and cut into long granola bar shapes.

enjoy!
