I know you’ve heard me say it before, but popcorn is my favorite snack.  I never get sick of it and I love trying new flavor combinations like this Honey Peanut Butter Granola Bar.  I never thought to add popcorn to a granola bar, and the fact that it has peanut butter in it as well makes me so happy.  Simple pantry ingredients like oats, honey, and peanut butter make this a recipe you can whip up any time.  If by chance you don’t have the puffed rice, you can always add in more oats or popcorn and it’ll work.  I know the kids are going to love this new spin on granola bars, and I hope yours will too!
