As promised, here are the granola bars that I made with the Applesauce Granola that I posted last week. I always used to love getting the Quaker Chewy Granola bars and the S’mores were always my favorite, so when I came across a recipe for a homemade version I knew I had to try them! These were SO good! Soft and chewy and sweet and they had the perfect S’mores flavor that I loved. The great thing is you can mix this up and incorporate different flavors, leave out the marshmallows and add peanut butter and peanut butter chips, or do white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and add in some nuts. The possibilities are endless! These really were very easy to make and they are a no bake recipe, which is even better!
Chewy S’mores Granola Bars
Source: Back to the Cutting Board, Originally from Rachael Ray
Make approximately 16 to 18 bars, depending on how you cut them
Ingredients:
4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup honey
2 cups granola
1 cup Rice Krispies
2 tbsp. graham cracker crumbs (optional)
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Line two 9 x 5 loaf pans with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray, set aside.
In a medium sized saucepan, add butter, brown sugar, and honey. Heat over medium heat and stir together to combine. Continue stirring until butter has melted completely.
Bring butter mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to medium low and simmer approximately 2 minutes, until sugar has dissolved. (I wouldn’t heat for more than 2 minutes so that your bars will remain soft once put together). Remove pan from heat.
Add in the granola, rice krispies, and graham cracker crumbs and stir to combine, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Gently stir in the marshmallows. Divide the mixture evenly between the two loaf pans and spread and press the mixture down into each pan. Press chocolate chips into the bars, distributing evenly.
Let set for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until cooled and mixture has set. Lift bars out of the loaf pans and cut into individual granola bars. Store in an airtight container.

Hi, from Hidden Hills, California I want to mention, I enjoyed this blog. However, it is weird how I ended up on your article. I searched for aventura limousine on Google and ended up on your website. I must say I do like your site and will check back soon. But I need to find the limo I was originally looking for first. Have a fantastic day! Bye.
Oh how funny that that’s how you found my site!:) Glad to have you though!
OMG, I’ve been looking for a good recipe to make homemade granola bars that my little one will eat. He loves the store bought ones but I don’t like giving him too many cause of everything in them. At least with these one’s I’ll know whats in them.
Yummmm, can’t wait to make these!!
BTW I’m loving EVERYTHING I’ve seen on your blog so far!
I wanna make almost everything! Lol
Can’t wait to try out a bunch of your recipes!! 😉
I hope your little one enjoys them! And that you so much for your sweet comments! That makes my day! 🙂
I love the idea of s’mores granola bars. My kids are going to flip over these! I think I will try using regular oats though in place of the granola; trying to cut back on the amount of sugar added.
I have a granola bar recipe that I really like to make. It uses sweet potato and ground flax seed.

Is it really this easy to make? I had no idea at all, will definitely create my version of this, maybe add in my favorite nut – almonds! And maybe make it dark. Thanks for sharing, surely perfect to pack this for trips.
