Easy Granola Bars

It has been a long time since I have made homemade granola bars. I have been wanting to make some but wanted to try a new recipe. I found one on allrecipes.com that I decided to try.

I read quite a few of the comments that people had made and decided to change a few things. I used several of the suggestions and came up with a version of my own.

I know this is not the healthiest of granola bars, but it was quick and easy. I also think it is still cheaper than most of the ones you can get in the store, and they are not all that healthier either. 🙂 So just think of them as more of a dessert than a healthy snack. 🙂
