•1 cup whole grain crispy puffed rice cereal or old-fashioned oats
•1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
•1/2 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
•1/2 cup peanuts or almonds
•1/2 cup chopped pretzels
•1/3 cup honey
•1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries
•1/4 cup wheat germ
•1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional)
Stir all ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. (This step is important -- it makes the mixture easier to shape.)
Remove and shape into small 1-inch balls, or press into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking pan to make granola bars.
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
**It is not essential that these be refrigerated, but it helps the balls to keep their shape.
