NO BAKE GRANOLA BARS
Great quick and easy granola bar recipe that kids can make. Perfect to throw in lunches or in your purse for travel. You can also add 1/4 cup wheat germ without changing the consistency. Change up the dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate for different flavors. I generally keep the bars in the refrigerator until I am ready to eat them, but these keep well to take to work or school.

Steps:
- You seriously can switch it up however you like. for chewier bars, use 3 cups oats and no rice krispies. I usually throw in a little vanilla, peanut butter, sesame seeds, any other chopped nuts, a couple tablespoons of brown sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, maybe some coconut or raisins.
- mix all together.
- grease a small cookie sheet and flatten down (if the pan is too large, just use half of it, the bars won't spread).
- Press down firmly.
- Bake on 325 degrees for about 20 minutes (just browned around the edges). Bake longer if you prefer crispier bars.

Tips:
- Choose wholesome ingredients: Opt for natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar instead of refined sugar. Use whole grain oats, nuts, and seeds for a nutritious and filling snack.
- Customize to your liking: Adjust the sweetness, nuttiness, and texture by adding different dried fruits, seeds, or spices. For a chewier bar, add a touch of nut butter or coconut oil.
- Don't over-bake: Keep a close eye on the granola bars while baking to prevent over-browning. The edges should be golden brown, but the center should still be slightly soft.
- Let them cool completely: Allow the granola bars to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to handle.
- Store properly: Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
