Homemade Chewy Granola Bars

Original Recipe from: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/homemade-chewy-granola-bars-without-corn-syrup

Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter or sunbutter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil (or another oil of your choice)
1 cup oats
1 cup total of any combination of:  sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips

Directions:
In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.

Remove from heat and add one cup of oats.  Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP.  (I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full.)  Pour in and stir well.
Stir well, then spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan.
Chill for two hours, then cut into bars.
Hot Mama Notes: Being the Chocoholic that I am, I used chocolate chips for the entire 1 cup.  >:D  Needless to say, the bars turned out YUMMY! I will try to be healthier next time, but I didn't have anything else really in the house.  I did use coconut oil.  And peanut butter.  :)
