#6: A Granola Lover's Treat

i was trying to think of "healthier option" recipes so i decided to try out a homemade granola bar recipe. as it turns out, the highest rated and most appealing was not the healthiest - but i went with it anyways. these homemade granola bars remind me of dessert bars. it's also pretty versatile because you can sub in - sub out anything you're craving, or anything you dislike. i followed the recipe pretty closely so mine were chocolate chip, dried cranberry, almond, and coconut. i brought them to share at work and they were definitely a crowd pleaser. however, if you're trying to "sell them" to a sweet tooth, make sure you mention that they have chocolate =)

note: like some of the comments say, i baked the bars a little longer than the recipe calls for. also, let them sit out for awhile before cutting them so they can harden.
