Homemade Chewy Granola Bar Recipe
Chewy granola bars are a snap to fix with this no-bake homemade granola bar recipe!

This recipe is just like those but it’s homemade, better for you, and no-bake! It’s so easy! I found this winning recipe on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. I can’t wait to play around with it and see what else I can do!
