Number of Servings: 24

Ingredients

    1/2 c. Roasted, salted peanuts
    1/2 c. Roasted sunflower seeds
    1/2 c. Roasted, chopped almonds
    1/2 c. Roasted pepitas

    2 c. Rolled oats, toasted in oven at 425*
    2 c. Krispy rice cereal

    1/2 c. Peanut butter
    1/2 c. (I use a little less than this) brown sugar
    1/2 c. Light corn syrup (you can put some honey w/ this) adds up to 1/2 c.
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

Tips

Corn syrup works better than just honey to keep bars together.


Directions

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Combine peanut butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until just warmed and combined. Add vanilla extract and stir. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients. Coat well.
Press into a 9 by 13 pan coated with cooking spray. Press down well to make the granola bars take shape. Let stand and harden. Then cut into bars. Wrap individually. Make another batch before this one is all gone!

Serving Size: Makes 24 - 1x3 inch pieces
