No Bake Granola Bars - Yum!





My apologies for being gone for so long!! Thank you for your patience. I am now officially a nurse... waiting (im)patiently to take my state boards to officially be an "RN." I'm actually really looking forward to the test. Graduation was great - so many people came to support me for my graduation and/or pinning and many other sent blessings on facebook, or phone calls or cards. So thankful!


I've been interviewing at several hospitals in the area and am praying for 1. them to hurry up and not be so slow moving (lol) and 2. that we will have wisdom to choose the best job for my career and my family. Such fun times! :-)

Tomorrow we are going to camp meeting in TN for the day and I am looking forward to it. I tried to make a special and delicious meal and one thing I wanted was a new granola bar recipe. These definitely fit the bill of what I was craving. I just love it when I "score" with all 4 "boys" and me!

No Bake Granola Bars

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup crisp rice cereal
½ cup raisins
½ cup slivered almonds
⅓ cup shredded coconut
⅓ cup peanut butter
½ cup sugar
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon vanilla
¾ cup carob chips, I used chunks (my own homemade - so much cheaper!)

1. Line a 9 inch square baking pan with wax paper.

2. Mix oats and crisp rice cereal, raisins, almonds, carob chunks and coconut together in a large bowl.

3. Boil peanut butter, honey, sugar and vanilla together, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes.

4. Mix all together thoroughly and press tightly into the 9 inch baking pan. Allow to cool completely and use the wax paper to pop bars out onto a cutting surface. Cut into 12 bars and enjoy!
