After my success with granola bars last week, Tim requested that I make some more, but with peanut butter. I made mine based on a different recipe, one that didn't involve cooking the bars after forming them.
The end result was quite tasty- I like the flavor of these much better than last week. The consistency was much softer... more like Rice Krispie treats. Thumbs up, except that they crumbled somewhat when handled.
I used the same technique as the recipe, but switched up the ingredients a bit:
1 cup oatmeal (mine wasn't instant, so I toasted in the oven for about 10 minutes)
1 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 cup slivered almonds (toasted along with the oatmeal)
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter
Heated the honey and brown sugar together until the sugar dissolved, then added peanut butter. Tossed together all of the dry ingredients and poured the peanut butter sauce over the top. Pressed it all into a lightly greased 9" x 9" pan. Cooled, cut and ate!
