Making granola?!
Answers: anyone have a favorite granola recipe? Plus wondering if I can make granola without using an oven. Thanks!
I have put some butter, oats, sugar, honey, and nuts in a frying pan and kind of toasted them on the stove. It is easy. I don't know the exact measurments, I experiment, but this is tried and true.
Rice Krispie Peanut Butter Granola Bars (No-Bake)
2 cups Rice Krispies
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup corn syrup (or you can use honey if desired)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4-1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or to taste)
Prepare an greased 11 x 7-inch or 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl combine rice krispie cereal, oats and raisins.
In a saucepan stir together/combine corn syrup or honey and brown sugar; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon; remove from heat and add/stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined. Pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl; mix to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. Transfer the mixture into prepared baking dish.
Cool and cut into bars.

Roll and press cereal mixture into 1-inch balls; place on prepared baking sheets. Let stand until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip half of each ball into melted morsels. Place on waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm.
