Made a small variation to this recipe and they turned out awesome!! I used 3 cups of oatmeal and 1 1/2 cups of rice krispies. Also substituted coconut oil for the butter. Made a double batch and then froze them in individual snack size zip seal bags so I can grab one easily to put in lunches for the kids and husband.

I used my Pampered Chef metal turner and pressed down to flatten and compact in the pan before baking as well as after it came out of the help. That seemed to help a lot.

it will be a little sticky when putting them in to a pan. it works better if you flatten them into a cookie sheet at about 1/4 in thick. then they will be crunchy

if you use a little more honey and cook them just a little longer this will fix the problem

I would guess they would last longer than commercially packaged granola
bars. Maybe a few years? Good question!

if you put these in a food sealer bag how long would these last do you think?
… Not sure why I’m asking since they would be gone as soon as the kids see them.

I just made these today. I added craisins and sliced almonds along with the mini chocolate chips. My 2 year old has never been crazy about granola. She helped me make them and then she had to be the first to taste it. She went nuts over them. Definitely a staple that is being added at our house!
