How To Make salted caramel hot chocolate granola bars

1
Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt and beat again. Stir together the oats, flour, hot chocolate mix, and cocoa powder. Slowly add to the butter mixture until everything is mixed together. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and caramel bits.

2
Spread the batter in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes. Cool.
3
Cut into 16 bars and place on a parchment paper lined tray. Place the chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon shortening in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute. Stir until melted. Drizzle over the bars. Repeat with the white chocolate and remaining shortening. Sprinkle the tops of the bars with sea salt and mini marshmallows. Let set. Store in a sealed container.
