High Fibre Granola Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups Rice Krispies
    2 cups instant oats
    1/2 cup sunflower seeds
    1/2 cup wheat bran
    1/2 cup wheat germ
    1/2 cup chopped peanuts (or your favorite nuts)
    1/2 cup shredded non sweetened coconut
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    1/4 cup melted butter (or cannabutter )
    1 cup corn syrup or 1 cup honey
    1 -2 teaspoon vanilla
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1 cup peanut butter
    1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preparation
    Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish and a large spoon or spatula.
    In a large mixing bowl combine the first 8 ingredients.
    In a medium saucepan over medium low heat melt the butter.
    Stir in the corn syrup or honey and add the vanilla and brown sugar.
    Stir until the mixture starts just to bubble slightly. Do not boil the mixture it will burn easily.
    Remove from the heat and stir in the peanutbutter until combined and smooth.
    Pour the syrup-peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together. You can add the chocolate chips now but they will melt into the mixture. I put them on the top at the end and just push them into the bars.
    Once combined transfer to the greased baking dish and using the greased spoon or spatula (you can use your hands if you get them wet first) flatten the mixture into the pan.
    Now is when I add the chocolate chips. Sprinkle them on top and just push them in with your fingers or the spatula.
    While the mixture is still soft and warm use a knife and cut into 24 bars.
    I store these in baggies 4 per bag in the refrigerator. They last a long time refrigerated but they also freeze well.
