    Made with simple ingredients from your pantry, these Honey Peanut Butter Granola Bars would be a great addition to your child's school lunch box. 

    Honey Peanut Butter Granola Bars will be perfect for your kids school lunch or as an after school snack. Honey, peanut butter and chocolate chips make this snack delicious

    I may have mentioned once or twice about my inability to make a chewy granola bar that actually, well, sticks together when you pick them up. I don't know why, but I suppose it is like my inability to roll a rectangle when I make cinnamon rolls.  One day, I made great peanut butter granola bars. I was so happy. I almost cried. ;-)

    It inspired me to make another batch of different granola bars. Honey peanut butter granola bars are made with simple ingredients with items probably already found in your pantry. Of course, it has chocolate chips in it too. Can't go wrong with that.

    Mom is always right

    I went a different route with the granola bars then rice krispies which are commonly found in the ingredients. I had acquired a lot, um, a way lot of Multi Grain Cheerios for $1.00 a box. My kids opened the cabinets and asked why do we have so many Cheerios? I told them they had a purpose.

    I proved right. ;-)

    Really, isn't that the best part of making any granola bar? Well, besides getting it to stick together, but we already covered that. Granola bars are so adaptable.  You can add coconut, Craisins, raisins, chocolate, nuts, different cereals; the list goes on and on.

    I like making these to go in our kids' school lunches. They wrap up and store easily. They are chewy and delicious. Be sure to make sure your school doesn't have any peanut butter issues. Our school allows the kids to take it in their lunches, so we don't have a problem there.
