Introduction

Good snack for kids, portable, not too messy, and you know exactly what's in them, unlike store bought granola bars. This is really easy to adapt by changing the nuts and fruits and spices you add. Could also use other extracts besides vanilla. Good snack for kids, portable, not too messy, and you know exactly what's in them, unlike store bought granola bars.
