I was looking for an easy recipe to make for Little D’s kindergarten class. On Fridays they have fun centers and when I volunteer they put me at the cooking station. I wanted to pick something he likes so I thought about making homemade granola bars (he used to call them “rolly bars”). But I wanted few ingredients and I didn’t want to have to bake it.
I was intrigued by thisno bake chocolate chip granola bar recipe on Laura’s Latestand decided to try it. It was so easy and really tasty. He kept asking for more which is a good sign. These are perfect for dessert or the occasional snack. Hopefully the rest of his class will think so!

I see brown sugar in the instructions, but I don’t see it in the ingredient list. How much brown sugar is needed for the recipe. Thanks!
