There's sweetness from the honey, chewiness from the raisins, hints of chocolate and cinnamon, and a bit of crunch. To save a few for later, wrap individual bars and place in a resealable freezer container. When you want a satisfying treat on short notice, just grab one and let it thaw for a few minutes. -Tasha Lehman, Williston, Vermont

NO-BAKE GRANOLA BARS
Here is a good alternative to a commercially made granola bar. It's a flexible recipe, allowing for any number of additions: dried cherries, pistachios, peanuts, dates, orange zest. You could substitute a dried fruit purée (directions are in the notes) for the honey and brown sugar, providing a complex twist on the binding agents. You could add chocolate. Coconut. The possibilities are endless.
