Easy 5 Ingredient Chocolate Raisin Apple Granola Bars Recipe

My children are bottomless pits. There is no other way to say it. I never understood why parents described their kids as “garbage disposals” or accused them of “eating us out of house and home” until I had four children under seven.

Halleluiah!

Now, how does one go about gluing together chunks of granola? I needed something sticky. Butter, maybe some brown sugar, and honey. I quickly imaged what would happen if any my four angels decided to decoupage the table with these ingredients and I knew I had a winner.

As fate would have it, they came inside as I was pulling my granola bar creation out of the refrigerator. I cut them as little hands frantically grabbed at the serving plate.
