I think we already have these. They're called "Dipps".

Thank you soooo much for sharing that one! Can't wait to try it. Question.......have you tried adding nuts or dried fruit to the mixture? Just wondering how it would effect the mixture. ie need to add more butter, egg, etc...

Not sure how it would work if you added more stuff, I think you'd have to add a bit more moisture somehow

What a great recipe for yummy granola bars there probably one of my favorite snacks..I always buy them and there expensive so I'm getting all the ingredients tomorrow and make these ..thanks so much for posting this thread,peace,sugarcookie1 S&F

I'm definitely going to make these! I think my 10-year-old will love them. I may try to experiment with different sweeteners, like honey or stevia - maybe even some splenda brown sugar blend - to reduce the processed sugar content. At least they do have whole grain - and that's a good thing!

Thanks for the recipe.
