Home-made Granola Bars
This one is my own invention. It's based on the old Rice Krispies Treats recipe.
2/3 stick butter
1 lb. marshmallows
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1 tbsp. vanilla
3 cups crisped rice cereal
3 cups generic granola
1-2 cups date pieces, raisins, nuts -- as desired
Melt butter over medium heat in heavy pot. Add marshmallows, melt. Add remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly. Spray large sheet pan(s) with no-stick cooking spray; press hot mixture into pan(s), cool.
Slice into bars. Makes approx. 4 dozen bars.
