I cheat when I make granola bars

Ok im no pro at granola and I'm sure there is an easier/better/healthier/vegan or whatever way to do this but these were simple and delicious!!!
They are a combo of chewy and crunchy.
We took these bars on a road trip for several days at room temp and they held up just fine. I think they taste sort of like a Payday candy bar because of the sweet peanut butter flavour.

Ingredients:
Makes a Dozen Bars
  • wax paper(pre cut into rectangles for wrapping the bars), twine, small saucepan, large mixing bowl, large spoon
  • One 12oz bag of Dry Loose Granola
I used Bear Naked Fit in Vanilla Almond
  •  1.5 cups peanut butter
I used fresh ground pure peanut butter
  •  1/2 cup Honey
Local is always best :)

Directions:
Heat Peanut butter and honey in a saucepan on low heat till mixed well and smooth, stir frequently, the peanut butter mixture will get a nice melted but still thick texture.
This takes less than 10min
While thats cooking pour your dry granola into a large mixing bowl.
Once your peanut butter mixture is well incorporated/melted together scoop it onto the dry granola, MIX MIX MIX, till its well distributed.
Portion your mixture out onto 12 small pieces of wax paper rectangles and shape them with your hands by folding over the edges around the mixture like a rectangular burrito.
Tie twine around to keep it closed, because its adorable and since tape wont stick very well to wax...
Refrigerate about an hour till they set.
