Cranberry Chocolate Granola Bars
Courtesy of Lynn's Kitchen Adventures
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tblsp honey
2 tblsp corn syrup (I used light)
2 cups quick cooking oats
1/3 sunflower seeds
About 1/3 cup cranberries (I didn't actually measure, I just put in a handful)
Sprinkle of chocolate chips (I didn't actually measure these either)
Grease an 8x8 inch pan. In a sauce pan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, and corn syrup. Stir constantly over medium heat until butter melts, sugar dissolves, and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and add oats, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and chocolate chips. Stir well until oats are well coated. Spread mixture into 8x8 pan. Bake for 22 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool 5 minutes and cut into bars (this is a little tricky cause the bar will stick to the knife so clean the knife often). Let cool one hour more in pan and then remove bars from the pan (they won't be completely cooled yet but at this point it is easiest to get them out).
I made these today - they tasted great but were totally stuck in the pan - I guess I didn't grease it enough (I used Pam) because we couldn't even get one piece out whole, lol. We weren't going to waste any granola-y cranberry-y goodness so we ate them out of the pan with a fork and knife :D
