Granola bars have been on my “to make” list for quite some time. In fact, I’ve tried making them before with disastrous results.

So I did some searching for another type of recipe – this one a no bake!

These chewy granola bars are made kind of like rice krispie treats! They’re packed full of healthy ingredients (and sugar) and given the mummy treatment with a drizzling of melted white chocolate. To give the mummies eye, I simply cut raisins, though melted dark chocolate would work quiet well, too.

These granola bars have an airy crispiness from the rice cereal and a smokey sweetness from the local honey I used in the recipe. Because I was mummifying these granola bars with a drizzling of white chocolate I opted to omit the mini chocolate chips.

If you have a granola bar recipe you swear by, by all means use that – and share it in the comments, I’d love to expand my granola bar repertoire!

Mummy Granola Bars

Ingredients:

• 6 tbsp butter
• 1/3 C brown sugar
• 1/4 C + 2 tbsp honey
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 C quick oats
• 1 3/4 C crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 C sliced almonds
• 1/4 C flax meal
• white chocolate
• raisins or dark chocolate

Steps:

1. Line a 9×11″ baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and honey together. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook 2 more minutes, until thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla, stir to incorporate.
3. Fold in the oats, cereal, almonds, and flax meal. Mix until combined.
4. Pour into the prepared baking dish and press firmly. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
5. Remove from the fridge and cut into rectangles.
6. Melt the white chocolate and pour over the granola bars to make them look like mummies. Cut a raisin in half for each granola bar to make eyes.
7. Store in the refrigerator.
