No Bake Granola Bars

I have never had homemade Granola Bars before making these. I always thought the store bought were so good, wow was I mistaken! I am shocked at how wonderful these were compared to store bought. I will never buy another box of Granola Bars from the store again. I put a lot of goodies in my Granola Bars…… chocolate chips, peanuts, dried cranberries, raisins, oatmeal, coconut and Rice Krispies. Then there is the peanut butter, honey….etc. Of course you can add whatever you want to your own recipe. Check out my recipe below because this was a wonderful combination of flavor!

  1. They look great! Glad that they taste as good as they look! You are right, some store-bought bars are yummy but some taste like I’d imagine the scrapings from a hampster’s cage to taste. I know I’m preaching to the converted but they are so straightforwards to make and you can experiment until you find the mix that works best. They are economical too!

    • I’m so glad I am not the only one that feels that way. My favorite part is changing the ingredients (nuts etc) and getting a completely different granola bar. For me it’s that I like to eat these for my sweet craving. At least it’s a little healthier….lol

      • I had them back in the day Diane – I remember my mom making them years ago, then she stopped when I had braces. I had braces on my teeth when I was older – 20-23 years old and was not supposed to eat anything chewy or gooey as they were the traditional braces that wrapped around each tooth, so a pain if you pulled a wire and did any damage with gooey or sticky treats.

      • Yes, after I got mine off, they started using the kind that they just cemented a small metal piece on each tooth – I had two headgears to pull back and up and a four rubberbands – only wore the headgear at night (thankfully) – now they are invisible braces.

  2. Oh wow! Looking for goodies to send home with my sons and son-in-law after our Christmas holiday. These definitely make the list. Will make a batch next week…you know…to try out. I have to taste them FIRST, right? πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

  3. Homemade granola bars are delicious! I’m going to have to try your recipe, Diane. Thank you! 😊
