Made at Home Granola Bars



For a long time, I've been threatening to make granola bars.  Every time I look at the contents of a box of granola bars I think, "this can't be that hard, at that surely does't have to be that bad for you".  As i've established, I'm no health nut.  I will and have eaten just about anything.  But as time goes on I keep finding ways to remove preservitives, food coloring and fillers from my diet.  If I can save a few bucks while Im at it, then even better.

I actually made 2 different recipes so that I could get a feel for both the baked and no-baked varieties I found on the web.
