Peanut Butter Granola Bars

• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cups granola
• 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
• 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or peanuts
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 cups crispy rice cereal

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and honey. Let cool. In a large bowl, mix the granola, oatmeal, raisins (craisins), sunflower seeds, and nuts. Stir in the peanut butter and honey mixture to coat. Slowly mix in the eggs. Gently stir in the rice cereal and press the mixture into the prepared pan.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned on the edges. Cool and cut into squares. the kids can help wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator. Makes about 20 bars.

*Note: I use Cascadian Farms brand granola. You can find it in the cereal aisle at the grocery store.
