Ingredients
-
1 (10 1/2 ounce) package large marshmallows
-
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
-
1/2 cup butter, cubed
-
1/4 cup corn syrup
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
4 cups oats
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1/2 cup flaked coconut
-
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
-
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
-
1/2 cup raisins
-
2 tablespoons wheat germ
-
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
-
1 cup crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, rice cereal, chocolate chips, coconut, sunflowers, peanuts, raisins, wheat germ, and sesame seeds.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows, peanut butter, butter, corn syrup and vanilla.
- Microwave the marshmallow mixture at 70% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until well-blended.
- Quicky stir the dry ingredients in to the marshmallow mixture. You'll have to work quickly as the mix will get gooey fast.
- Spread into a greased 13-in. X 9-in. X 2-in. baking pan. To flatten the granola bars, I spray the BOTTOM of a second baking pan with cooking spray, nest this second pan on top of the pan with the mix and press down hard.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes.
- Cool and cut into 24 bars.
