Granola Georgia Pecan Grabbers
If
you don’t have time to dip these bars in chocolate, junior chef
Henry Chambers suggests adding some mini chocolate chips to the
pecan granola mixture.
Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 5 minutes
Makes sixteen 1-inch-thick bars
20 large marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups low fat granola
1 cup chopped Georgia pecans
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted (optional)
- Melt butter in medium pot over
low heat. Add marshmallows and heat, stirring occasionally,
until melted. Remove from heat and stir in granola and pecans,
mixing well.
- Transfer mixture to lightly
buttered 9 x 5 loaf pan. Press firmly and evenly into pan and
set aside to cool.
- Invert pan to remove “block” of
granola. Cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 8 bars.
Serve as is, or, if desired, insert extra-long toothpicks as
handles and dip partway in chocolate.
