Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar with the honey and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Add the granola, rice cereal, raisins and pretzels to the saucepan and fold the ingredients to evenly coat with the sauce.
• Transfer the granola mixture to a 9-by-13-inch ungreased baking pan and press firmly to evenly fill.
• Gently press the chocolate chips onto the top of the granola.
• Let the granola mixture set in the refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes, then cut into 2 1/4-by 3-inch bars.

CHEWY NO-BAKE GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Prepare a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients so they are ready for the hot sugar mixture.
• In a sauce pan, make sugar mixture. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup and optional molasses; bring to a full boil and allow to boil 1 MINUTE. Turn down heat and add peanut butter and vanilla, stirring quickly until smooth.
• Work quickly - pour the hot sugar mixture over dry ingredients and use two wooden spoons to thoroughly combine ingredients. Stir in chips LAST so they don't melt in the hot mixture.
• Press mixture very firmly into prepared pan. Keep pressing down until your bars are dense in order to keep them from crumbling later when you cut them.
• When cool, use a sharp knife to cut into 18 bars (1 cut lengthwise and then 9 cuts across).

• Add the vanilla and mix.
• Add the flour and mix until combined.
• Stir in the chips.
• Coat a 9-inch x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread the batter evenly into the dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then cover the top with foil to avoid over-browning.
• Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs. You will think they are under-done, but they aren't. Make sure you don't overbake!
