No Bake Granola Bars

By srumbel

These No Bake Granola Bars and exactly what they say. They required no baking and I had them ready in 5 minutes and ready to eat in 15 minutes. The great about these No Bake Granola Bar’s is you can make these bars as big or as small as you would like. I know my little 1 year old will eat two to four bites and be done with it. So I made some small bite size bites and some longer ones for me and the hubs to enjoy. I wrapped mine up individually in plastic wrap for easy to grab access to toss into lunches or into the diaper bag.
