• Shredded Coconut– I use the sweetened shredded coconut for the recipe.

How To Make Homemade Granola Bar Recipe

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toast Coconut. Place shredded coconut evenly onto baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until browned. Remove.

Combine Dry Ingredients. Place coconut, oats, graham crackers, cereal and marshmallow bits into large bowl.

Melt Butter and Honey. In a medium saucepan melt butter and honey, stirring until melted.

Brown Sugar, Peanut Butter and Vanilla. Remove and stir in brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla.

Add Hot Mixture To Dry Ingredients. Pour mixture over oat mixture stirring to combine.

Add Honey and Chocolate. Right before transferring to 9×13 dish, drizzle with additional honey and stir in chocolate chunks, without stirring too much.

Transfer To Baking Dish. Transfer to dish, pressing evenly.

Refrigerate. Refrigerate for one hour before cutting into bars. For best results, keep bars chilled until serving.
