Homemade chewy granola bars is one of those recipes you see all over pinterest, often wrapped in slips of parchment paper, secured with red and white baker's twine, and wonder if they every turn out like anything you would like to eat.
I am pleased to say these do come out quite tasty, although there may be more sugar involved than you care to eat, at least there is not added salt !
