We LOVE these white chocolate cranberry granola bars! I’ve made these countless times over the past 5 years for camping trips and playgroups. In fact, their inspiration comes from an AllRecipes.com recipe for Playgroup Granola Bars. I’ve made some major tweaks to the recipe and they are oh so tasty! Perfect fall flavors!
A few notes first…
These are best cut warm but wait until they cool to handle them. Also, honey is necessary. I’ve substituted corn syrup before (in a pinch) and they were hard as rocks.
