Chewy Chocolate Granola Bars!

Granola bars are easily my children's most favorite snack... the only thing I hate about store bought granola bars... the ingredients and the way the bars are processed, blah! I make these and literally cannot keep them in my refrigerator, everyone chows these down like no tomorrow; it is almost like they are scared they will not be able to get one, so they eat fast. This is amazing to make and give as a gift for this Holiday season; you will see plenty of jaws drop. Super chewy, super delicious, and super easy to make.. Give them a try and you will never go back to store bought ones! Skip you store bought! I WIN!!

You Will Need:

1 Cup Justin's Vanilla Almond Butter
1/2 Cup Organic Honey
1/2 tsp Real Salt
3 Cups Organic Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Organic Butter
Organic Soy-Free Chocolate Chips

Melt butter, almond butter, and honey on medium heat until smooth

This is perfect, creamy and smooth no chunks

Stir almond butter mix into the salt and oatmeal 

This step is optional- stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips (soy-free) these will melt so if you do not want melted chocolate chips skip this

Tear off a piece of parchment paper use that to press the mixture into a 9x13' dish lined with unbleached parchment paper greased with organic olive oil. Press really really well.. I then took a spatula and pressed the sides down off the paper

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top...Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours..then remove from dish and cut

Store in an air tight container, or zip lock... 

ENJOY! these bad boys are amazing!
