Oats N’ Honey Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola Bars

My stepson visited from Florida recently and grabbed a Chewy Nut Butter Oatmeal Bar for breakfast. 

His mind was blown 🤯!

“Oh my god. What is in these things? They are magical! I can’t stop eating them!”

I’ve received this feedback from every single person who has had the opportunity to taste these homemade granola bars.
In my humble opinion, they are pretty darn simple and so easy, which, I suppose, is what makes them so great.

I decided to craft them again, but this time with the “Nature Valley” theme of Oat n’ Honey – the green ones, but still adding some chocolate to make them a bit “extra.”

The result was, of course, EXTRA and enjoyed in every EXTRA way!

Thus, enjoy a slightly alternate version of the yummy Chewy Nut Butter Oatmeal Bar recipe from a few weeks ago and compare – let me know which ones you like best.

(The major difference – instead of using a base of raw oatmeal, I used honey and oat granola (already toasted and crispy) and a little extra chocolate!)

In a large bowl, combine the dates, nuts, chocolate, trail mix, peanut butter, and honey until well incorporated.

Wrap each sliced “bar” in plastic wrap to individually store.
