Ingredients
 

  • 2/3 cup + ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3 cups rice krispies
  • 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
  • Optional: ½ cup wheat germ
  • 1 cup honey
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 9 x 13 pan lightly with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips, rice krispies, oats, and wheat germ (if using). In a small saucepan combine the butter and honey. Bring to a boil and boil on medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Stir until combined and pour over your oat mixture. The chocolate chips will melt.
  • Wait until mixture is mostly cooled, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes, then and add ½ cup chocolate chips and gently mix in. Press evenly into prepared pan using wax paper.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour and then cut into bars. Wrap each granola bar in plastic wrap and store in a covered container or zip lock bag in the fridge.
