Mmmmmm...Granola Bars

I conquered a recipe of the best granola bars ever...they're not dry or hard - which I hate.

It was already too bad to drive. We were behind a SUV that could not drive in a straight line - either they had a crappy car / tires that couldnt handle the snow or that person was drunk....
