Preparation

1. Prep a baking dish. For thicker bars, strive a 7×11 or multiple bread pans. For thinner bars, a 13×9 will paintings. Grease the pan or lay down non-stick foil.

2. In a high-quality big bowl: mix the oats, rice cereal, dried fruit, M&Ms, chocolate chips, and peanuts. Stir it all together with a massive spatula. Have the spatula close and on hand!

Three. In a medium-sized microwave secure bow, combine the honey and peanut butter. Microwave for 30-45 seconds. Stir until it's miles very well combined.

Four. Pour your honey combination into the oat mixture. Now, be brief! Coat the oat combination with the honey combination. This is less difficult to do whilst it is nevertheless hot.

5. Once coated, press the combination into your prepared pan. You can grease your arms and press. I like to take grasp wrap and wrap that around the bottom of a bread pan. Then, I use that to press the bars into the pan definitely firmly. This is necessary for the bars to stick collectively.

6. Cover and put it in the refrigerator for at the least 1 hour. Cut and revel in! Do not try to cut them before one hour or they may be a crumbly, honey gooey mess. They will still be tasty, though. Like many home made granola bars, freezing those for a little at the same time as enables them stick together.

Store at room temperature, inside the refrigerator or the freezer.
