Choc Chip Muesli Bar

adapted from : http://themarathonmom.com/crispy-chocolate-chip-granola-bars.htm


Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups oats
• 1 cup crispy brown rice cereal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Stir oats and rice cereal in large bowl.
2. Melt oil, honey, and sugar until bubbly, for no more than two minutes.  Stir constantly.
3. Let oil/honey/sugar mixture cool for 2-3 minutes, then add vanilla and stir.
4. Pour liquid mixture over oats and cereal and stir thoroughly.  It’s important to mix well so that the oats and cereal are all coated and stick together well.
5. Grease an 8×8 glass pan, then pour mixture into pan.
6. Press down firmly.  This step is just as important as the mixing.  Packing down the granola helps them stay together!
7. Add chocolate chips to the top while mixture is still warm and press firmly again.  (Waiting too long to add the chips will result in chocolate chips that “fall off” the top of the granola bars when eating.)
8. Place granola bars in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
9. Once set, turn pan upside down on cutting board.  (Turn them over carefully if you want them to be “face up”.)  Then cut into the size bars you like.
10. Store in fridge.
