Granola Bars

We have been trying to eat a little healthier lately. I've been dying for a snack that is cheap, tasty, and of course, good for me. I've seen cereal bars be made before, so I knew the basic ingredients and I decided to just whip this up with a few ingredients in the kitchen. There are a ton of different variations that can be made with this recipe, so don't stick to mine.

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons Butter
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Corn Syrup
1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla

1 Cup of Rice Chex
1 Cup of Frosted Flakes
1 Cup of Oats
1/4 Cup of Wheat Germ
1/2 Cup of Chopped Almonds

4 Ounces of Melting Chocolate

Directions:

In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients together and mix evenly. Melt butter with salt in a large saucepan on medium to medium high heat. Add honey and brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in corn syrup and simmer stirring consistently for one minute. Stir in vanilla and remove pan from heat. Fold evenly all dry ingredients into liquid mixture. Spoon mixture into greased 9 x 13 pan and cool completely. Drizzle melted chocolate onto cooled bars. Cut into even pieces and store in zip top bag.
