Easy Granola Bars

I am getting frustrated with all of the additives in our foods as well as the shrinking packages.  So I am on the look out for healthy and yummy snack foods for my kids.  I found a recipe for Granola Bars on the All Recipe website.  Here is the link to the original recipe.

  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries

I substituted 1/2 c. extra chocolate chips and  1/2 c. extra coconut for the 1 cup almonds.  I also omitted the dried cranberries.  My crew really enjoyed them. No pictures because my family has eaten most of them already I am planning on playing around with this recipe.  I am planning on making some with dried pears as well as other fruits that I dry here. 

What snack food recipe do you find you make frequently?  Please feel free to share!
