Blue Ribbon Recipe

Jewel's breakfast bar recipe is proof that "good for you" can be delicious, too. These bars are crunchy, chewy, and sweet, with a hint of peanut butter flavor. We would be happy campers if we could have one with a cup of coffee every morning... Talk about starting the day off on the right foot!
