Howie and I invented a new granola bar recipe:

Howie’s Granola Bars

Ingredients

2 cups crushed rice chex 

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoons creamy sunbutter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup chocolate chips

½ tsp cinnamon

1.   Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

2.  Spread the coconut evenly across a baking sheet.

3.  Toast coconut in preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl with Chex, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.

4.  Mix honey, sunbutter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until smooth. Pour the honey mixture over the Chex, cinnamon, chocolate chips and coconut; stir to coat. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

5.   Bake in preheated oven until beginning to dry, about 8-10 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
