This is a very simple granola bar recipe that you can modify to you likes & desires. Change up the chips (vanilla, butterscotch, espresso), add nuts, etc. Get fancy by drizzling melted chocolate or vanilla chips over the top when completely cool. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters if you spread the bars thin enough. Just have fun.
