Make Your Own Cinnamon Honey Granola Bars

Forget about those expensive, pre-packaged granola and snack bars from the grocery store. Use the SnackBar Maker to create your own healthy snacks and meals without all the added sugar, salt and preservatives. The possibilities are endless—healthy cereal, granola, oatmeal, muesli and popcorn balls; chocolate and coconut bars; fish sticks, crab cakes and chicken patties; or regular and sweet potato pancakes. Then, take them along in the two SnackBar Keepers that are included.  Tell me what snacks you make instead of buy.  I am always looking for alternatives to the dreaded snack isle at the grocery store!  Here is a GREAT Recipe for:

No-Bake Cinnamon Honey Granola Bars

Serves: 4
Prep/Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. butter
½ tsp. Simple Indulgence™ Cinnamon Vanilla Blend
1 cup granola
½ cup rice cereal
½ cup thin pretzel sticks, broken in pieces

In a Chef Series 3 Qt./2.8 L Sauce Pan, combine brown sugar, honey, butter and seasoning blend.
Bring to a boil on high, reduce heat to low and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
Place granola, rice cereal and pretzels in a Thatsa® Bowl. Pour sugar syrup over the top and use
a Saucy Silicone Spatula to stir evenly and coat. Cool mixture slightly. Divide the mixture into the
SnackBar Maker molds, compact with the press, seal and place in the refrigerator for about 15
minutes or until the bars have set.

I’m Posting every day in 2011!

I’ve decided I want to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now. I will be posting on this blog once a day / once a week for all of 2011.

I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring, awesome and wonderful. Therefore I’m promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Signed,

Lorrie Eubanks aka Tupper Lorrie
