Granola Bars

Ingredients
5 cups Granola (I used mixed 5 grain granola)
2/3 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup honey
4 Tbsp Margarine
2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Raisins (optional)

Preheat oven 400º
Bake granola for 10-12 minutes stirring often to avoid burning.

Line 9"x11" baking dish with waxed paper, you want an excess amount of wax paper on each end of the dish.
Place brown sugar, honey, margarine, vanilla and salt into a saucepan bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. (I do this while granola is baking)

Remove granola from oven and place in a large bowl.
Add the liquid mixture.

If using raisin add them now and stir really well.
Ensure all of the granola is covered with liquid mixture.
Pour granola into baking dish, spread out with wooden spoon.
Using excess wax paper press down hard on granola.

Wait 2-3 hours, I place mine in the fridge once it is cooled.
Open wax paper, turn granola over and slice into bars.
Cut and wrap.


Comments:
The first batch I baked the granola with raisins...do not do this as raisins will swell and they burn very easily.
