Here's to a healthy snack in the new year!


My husband loves to snack! When he gets home from work his eyes start looking for something to munch on. Recently, I have been making this snack for him - it's a much better snacking option than a bag of chips! We really enjoy it and I hope you do too!

Gobble Up Granola Snack

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal

2 cups quick-cooking oats

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup or honey

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, stir together the rice cereal and oats. Set aside. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Combine the brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat just until boiling, then remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the cereal and oat mixture, and mix well.

3. Press into the prepared pan using the back of a large spoon. Allow to cool, then cut into squares.
