Helpful Hints:
|
If your family does not like raisins, use any combination of dates, cranberries, miniature chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts or butterscotch chips. You can easily double this recipe using a 9x13-inch baking pan. Doubling a recipe brings school right into the kitchen - let kids do the math! Tightly wrap the cut bars and send along in backpacks for a quick energy snack.
 |
Safety Tip:
|
Remember to use dry hot pads when removing the pan from the oven. This recipe suggests letting the bars cool 10 minutes in the pan and then cutting them into 2x2-inch squares. Leave the bars in the pan to cool completely before serving or storing. Hungry kids at snack time will have a hard time waiting because they smell so good!
