Here is a recipe for yummy, healthy, easy granola bars:

                                     1/2 cup brown sugar or sucanat     (I omit this. It's sweet enough without it for me.)

                                      2/3 cup peanut butter

                                      1/2 cup honey or agave nectar

                                      1/3 cup butter  (I use 1/2 cup butter when I add an optional ingredient.)

                                      2 tsp. vanilla

                                      1 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats

                                      1 1/2 cup brown crisp rice cereal

                                      1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

                                      1/2 cup wheat germ

                                      1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds

                               Optional ingredients:

                                      1 cup raisins

                                      1/2 cup coconut

                                      2 TBS sesame seeds

                                  Grease 13x9x2 inch baking pan and set aside

                                  Combine:  brown sugar, peanut butter, honey, butter, and vanilla set aside

                                  In another bowl combine oats, cereal, rest of the ingredients.  Stir and add in peanut

                                  butter mixture.  Press evenly into prepared pan.

                                  Bake at 350 for 18-25 minutes.  Cool.

        Enjoy!
