Chewy snack bars bursting with granola and coconut
Yield:
24 bars
Ingredients:
3 cups granola
1 cup crisp rice cereal
1 cup coconut, shredded unsweetened
3/4 stick butter (6 T)
7 oz marshmallow cream
Optional
1/4 cup honey *
Chocolate chips, Raisins, Almonds, etc
Instructions:
1. In a large sauce pan melt butter over low heat. (Optional: add honey). While the butter is melting add the granola, crisp rice cereal, and coconut (also optional raisins, nuts, etc… but not chocolate chips) in a large bowl and mix.
2. Lightly grease a 13×9 pan.
3. After butter has melted add marshmallow cream. Stir occasionally until cream has melted and mixture is combined.
4. Slowly raise the temperature until mixture begins to slightly boil (this will vary depending on the size and material of the sauce pan; our stove needs to be right below medium) — remember to continue stirring!
5. Once it has started to boil continue to stir for 1 minute.
6. Remove from heat and immediately add the granola mixture. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
7. Dump mixture into the 13×9 pan and spread it out in the pan. (Optional: Sprinkle chocolate chips across the loose mixture). Press the mixture down flat creating making it level. Allow to cool.
8. You may wish to cut your bars before the dish completely cools.
