Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
- 1 cup rice puffs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 baking sheet or dish with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the edges. Combine the oats and rice puffs in a large bowl.
- Add the butter, honey, and brown sugar to a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a light simmer and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the hot butter mixture into the bowl with the oats and stir to evenly combine. Add the mini chocolate chips, leaving 2 tablespoons aside. They will slightly melt into the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. With a large flat spatula or your wet hands, firmly press the granola down into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips over the granola and press them down.
- Cover the baking sheet and allow the granola to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours. After chilling, slice the granola into 12-16 bars. Enjoy!

Notes
- Note: I love to toast the oats first, in order to deepen the flavor of the granola bars. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°, stirring every few minutes. Then continue with the recipe as written!
