Granola Bars

Here is a recipe for granola bars I made. I really liked them. Christopher hasnt touched them. I guess cause they look different than the boxed kind. And oddly enough at the time of this post, Madison isnt hungry. So I cant give any input on whether the kids liked them, but I do. I actually think I would like them better as a fruity and nutty bar that just chocolate chips.

I added a tablespoon of ground flax seed too, and used white and milk chocolate.
