The boys favorite granola bars!

I was really excited that everyone loved these bars as much as us!
The boys love these and although I only give it to them as a snack, I wrap each individually and keep in a ziplock for when they want. 

"Granola sticks" ( as the boys call it)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar ( we make our own)
2 cups organic oats ( quick comes out great for the kids, I love the old fashioned for me)
1 cup Barbara's brown rice cereal ( or rice crispy but look for a brand without bht or tbhq)
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tablespoons mini chips 

In a large bowl, mix the oats and the cereal together. 
Melt the butter brown sugar and the honey over medium high heat until it bubbles.
Make sure it bubbles all over, not just a little.
Reduce the heat and let it summer about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla and stir
Mix into the dry ingredients and pour into a greased pan. The size of your pan depends on the thickness, we use a jelly roll pan.
Pack it down, like really smash it together! Mine are always around 3/4 inch thick. 
Sprinkle with mini chips and press them down. 
Let cool for about three hours, 
Then you can slice! 
Enjoy!
