I know that I have said it before but my kids are always hungry. My son is a teenager and my daughters not that far behind, add in the fact that they are swimmers…you get the idea! We eat a lot! As a result, I always try and keep snacks on hand. Being able to grab a snack and go really helps to curb their hunger and fueled up for practice and meets. Let me tell you, store bought snacks can be pricey and not really that healthy for them so I try to make healthy, homemade snacks. One of the things that my kids love to snack on is granola bars so I love to make these easy Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars.
