Day Three Hundred and Fifty-Five - Hippie

I'm not a huge fan of making from scatch things that can be easily obtained from a store or restaurant. Provided that the price is reasonable [my time is money too] and the taste is...tasty! Of course. And since the current granola bars that I've been eating since Junior Kindergarten have served me well I have never felt the need to look elsewhere for them. However, the cost would be much less if I made my own and perhaps there is some sort of hidden deliciousness so this afternoon I made my own granola bars. As you can see by the photo...things didn't exactly go as planned. That is - if my plan was to make the granola bars and have them actually cut and then placed into some sort of wrap and then taken with us on our daily travels...that plan will not come to fruition.


You see - the form that you currently see the granola "bars" in - that is the form they will remain. They have been quite resistant to bar form. So...hmmmm - while I'm not entirely sure what to do with them...my main thought is that I will use utensils to crumble it up and then mix it with yogurt. In fact, I quite often enjoy granola in this format. So, while I would say that these "granola bars" are easy enough to make...since I didn't actually succeed in making them - I don't really want to recommend this recipe to anyone. However, I will say that the oats and honey being roasted up in the oven - that was a sensational smell [and highly recommended].
