Granola Bars {redux}


I've been on this quest to find nut-free granola bars, and, let me tell you -- it's hard!


Thus, I started to make our own granola bars -- right now, this is our favorite version, so I thought I'd share it with you.


Dark Chocolate Cherry Granola Bars - SnoWhite

3ish C oats
2 C Rice Krispies
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 C dark chocolate chips
1/2 C dried cherries, chopped

In a large bowl, combine oats, Rice Krispies, chocolate chips, and cherries.


Add the sweetened condensed milk.


Stir to combine.


Pour into a greased 9x13 glass baking dish and, using a spatula press gently pack the bars down a bit.


Bake at 350 for ~22 minutes (a little longer if you want harder granola bars).


Cool, and then slice into bars.


Store in an airtight container for 1 week, or in the fridge 1 week longer.
