I had been searching for a good granola bar recipe for months. My friend Casi shared this recipe a few weeks ago and I've made two batches already...they're so good they disappear in our house. Made a batch for my crafty friends to try tonight, here's the recipe ~ Enjoy!

GRANOLA BARS

INGREDIENTS

1 cup margarine

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup corn flakes

1 cup rice krispies

1 cup coconut

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup craisins(or raisins)

1 cup dried apricots, chopped

(I sometimes substitute mini chocolate chips for the dried fruit)

Cream butter and add sugars, beat well. Add vanilla & eggs. Mix together flour, baking soda & salt then add it to creamed mixture. Stir in oats, cornflakes, rice krispies, coconut, almonds, craisins & apricots. Press into a large rectangle, greased & floured cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes (depending on your oven) or until lightly browned on top. Cool before cutting.
