Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Granola Bars Recipe

I have to say I am really enjoying this new #ToddlerTreats series of mine, I have so much different, fun and most importantly easy to make recipes for you & your little ones! If this week is your first week spotting this little series then don’t fret, you can catch up on my previous #ToddlerTreats here. This week I am excited to share my latest easy-peasy toddler recipe for peanut butter and chocolate chip granola bars! Judging by how much my older kids and partner loved these, I’m inclined to say they’re a for-all-the-family sort of treat!

First of all, this is a no-bake recipe, making it a much easier snack to put together.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate chip granola bar no-bake recipe

– 1 1/2 cups of Oats
– 2 cups of Rice Krispies
– 1/2 cup of Brown sugar
– 1/2 cup of honey
– 1/2 cup of peanut butter
– 1 tsp vanilla essence
– 1/4 cup of chocolate chips

How to make your own Peanut butter & Chocolate chip granola bars

First of all, you need to bring to the boil the brown sugar and the honey. Just enough so that the granules of the sugar have dissolved. Once that has happened then you take it off the heat, add in your peanut butter and stir in your syrup. Leave it to cool for a few minutes.

When it’s been cooled a little, you’ll notice it has stiffened. Now it’s time to add your oats, rice krispies & mix together until well combined. Then, once that is done, empty it out onto a baking tray with greaseproof paper and pat the mixture down firmly. Next, sprinkle on your chocolate chips and leave it to cool for an hour in the fridge. Once cooled, cut into bars and you’re done!

Easy.as.that.

These literally took me ten minutes to make {not including the hour in the fridge, obviously!} and they are ready to be enjoyed by the whole family! I didn’t think my son would like these, being the fussy bum that he is but according to him and I quote, “These are the best things you’ve EVER made, Mummy!” I think it’s safe to say he likes them!. Everyone loved these, even Miss Belle {after she picked off the choccy chips first of course!}.




According to Ellie they taste ‘a little’ like Snickers bars and I reckon she’s right and although these are considerably healthier than a Snickers bar & they also make perfect lunch box fillers too!

I can see these being in high demand with this lot so I had best go and put together another batch! That first batch is almost gone already!!
