Ingredients for Homemade S’mores Granola Bars
Here are the ingredients I used for my bars.
To start, you’ll toast your shredded coconut in the oven.
You’ll want to toast the coconut until golden brown.
Add your oats to a large mixing bowl.
The crumbled graham crackers.
Cereal next 🙂
Marshmallow bits! You can find these at your grocery store either by all of the other marshmallows or by the ice cream toppings. You can also order them on Amazon. They’re so great in cookie and brownie recipes too.
Aren’t they cute?
Add your toasted coconut to the bowl.
Prepare sauce and pour over your oats mixture.
At the very last minute before transferring, drizzle with a heaping tablespoon more honey and stir in your chocolate! I used dark chocolate chunks, but any chocolate chip works great.
Press Mixture Into Baking Dish and Refrigerate To Firm Up.
Press firmly into your baking dish. Let refrigerate for a good hour before slicing.
Cut into bars!
Not only are these adorable and perfect for snacking, they’ve got all of the right flavors that make for a fun granola bar. Enjoy!
