Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars

03/07/17 | Giant Supermarket, Recipes, Snack Recipes

This is a sponsored post on behalf of GIANT Food Stores but all opinions are 100% my own.

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.

These yummy Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars are a yummy snack any time of day!

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars


These Homemade Chocolate Peanut Granola Bars are so easy to make and my kids just gobble them up!

  • 4 cups bran or corn flake cereal (this time I used Twisted Chocolate Flake and Granola Cereal from GIANT Food Store)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • In large bowl mix cereal, raisins and chocolate chips
  • In small saucepan heat corn syrup and brown sugar until brown sugar is melted and it is just starting to boil.
  • Remove pan from heat and mix in peanut butter, oil and vanilla and stir until well mixed.
  • Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture and mix until well coated.  Press into a greased 9 in pan and allow to cool.  Cut into bars and enjoy!
