This simple granola bar recipe was shared by Evangeline (age 9).

Peanut butter pretzel granola bars are pretty easy to make, because there’s no cooking. So if a kid wants to help, you don’t have to say, “No! There’s cooking!” Peanut butter pretzel granola bars taste really good, because peanut butter and pretzels go well together. The pretzels add a nice crunch.

These are the ingredients. There are only 5 ingredients. If you’re allergic to chocolate or don’t want to use chocolate, you can do raisins or cranberries instead.

These are the tools. If you don’t have a mixer, you can just use a spoon or your hands to stir.

The first step is to put a handful of pretzels in a ziploc bag and crush them. Flat pretzels work the best. When they are crushed so that it is not dust, but not just big huge chunks, so that it will add a nice crunch, that means it’s ready.

The crushed pretzels should make 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup.

Add the crushed pretzels to the mixing bowl.

Now add 2 and a half cups oats.

Now measure 1 cup peanut butter.

Once it is full, add it to the mixer.

Add one fourth cup chocolate chips to the mixing bowl.

Add one fourth cup honey to the mixing bowl.

Mix the ingredients together. You can use a spoon, your hands, or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.

Stick the parchment paper in the dish you are using. We used an 8″ by 8″ glass dish.

Now stick the granola bar mixture in the dish with the parchment paper.

Press down with your fingers until the mixture is spread evenly.

I pressed it down until it was about a half inch thick. (I didn’t measure.)

Put it in the freezer for one hour to overnight.

After it is frozen, take it out of the freezer. Pull the parchment paper out to get it out.

Cut it up into squares or rectangles.

Enjoy your yummy granola bars! Just kidding! (No, just kidding!)
