Chewy Cherry-Chocolate Granola Bars



These are so yummy and they take a few minutes to put together. This basic recipe can allow for endless possibilities (i.e. cashews, peanuts, dried apricots etc...) but this cherry-choco mix was awesome. Moo, wait'll you get home.... you will love these!
Follow these steps and you won't fail!



Enjoy.




1. Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in the microwave. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 350 and prep your square baking dish with parchment paper.

3. In a large bowl, whisk 2 egg whites until frothy then add the following: a splash of both almond and vanilla extract, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 generous tbsps honey, dash of cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar. Whisk all of this together.....

4..... and then add: 2 and 1/4 cups large cooking oats, a handul each of coconut, dried cherries, slivered almonds, and mini chocolate chips. Add the butter and mix together. Put in square baking dish, pat down nice and firmly and bake for 30 minutes, turn off stove and then allow 5-10 minutes more in the cooling oven.





So Moolicious.
