Chocolate Granola Bars

Written by Malissa

I have a huge sweet tooth, so it's only fitting that my first recipe is a sweet one. The kids and I love these granola bars. Owen doesn't like peanut butter, so his loss is our gain! They are so much better and healthier than the boxed granola bars.

2. Pour in the cup of oats, chocolate chips,and the wheat germ. Stir til combined.
