What do you think? Don’t they sound delicious. I love how you can take the basic granola recipe and vary it to suits tastes and needs and also to address any allergies in the house (e.g. use sunflower butter instead of peanut butter). I also love how you can vary them by adding sprinkles, chocolate drops pr sprinkling with chocolate. Yummy, these no bake granola bites will most certainly be made again in our house!
