Peanut Butter Granola Bars
These were GOOD! I can't wait until we are in our new apt so I can make them again!
I used what we had on hand for these.. which was golden raisins, dried cherries, and some pecans. I also didn't spread them very thin so it made more like 10 bars, I have no idea how they got 16!!! 16 would be WIMPY ones! haha. Anyway so expect 8-10 "normal" sized granola bars if you like them the way I do. Either way they were tasty and I wish I had some now.. you can use whatever you'd like really for fruits/nuts.
