I love trying new snack recipes that are healthy for the kids to eat. I've been making granola for a long time and they love it, but sometimes they want something else. Every couple of days the kids and I have a conversation that goes like this: Them "Mom, can I have a snack?" Me: "Sure what do you want?" Them: "Can I have a junk snack?" Me: "What kind of junk snack?" Them: "Something with chocolate."
So I've been trying to perfect a granola bar recipe that the kids would enjoy as much as the prepackaged variety that was healthier for them with no luck, until tonight. I decided to try out a recipe from one of the blogs I follow. I made a batch a few days ago, but I got distracted and only added half the oats I needed, plus the recipe called for cinnamon which we all thought overpowered the flavor. Tonight I made sure I measured out the ingredients properly, omitted the cinnamon and added chopped up dried cherries and some chocolate chips. They were a big hit with everyone, well Super Why ate all but one bite of his then handed it to me and said this is icky. I'm pretty sure he was just full since he ate the rest of it.
