Chewy No-Bake Granola Bars

Granola Bars originally from here

2 1/2 cups rice krispies
1 3/4 c. quick oats
1/4 c. wheat germ (or ground flax seed, wheat bran, or additional oats)
1/2 c. mix-in (shredded coconut, chopped nuts, raisins, dried fruit, sesame, sunflower seeds, etc.)
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. brown sugar (I used 1/4)
2/3 c. peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c. chocolate chips

Combine first 4 dry ingredients.

In a saucepan, mix honey, brown sugar, and salt. Over medium-low heat, stir until the mixture comes to a complete boil for 30 to 60 seconds.

Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.

Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.

Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before adding the chocolate chips.

Press into 9x13 greased pan and let cool before cutting into bars.

They freeze well.
