peanut butter granola bars

I made some awesome granola bars last night...they are soooo good!

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
3 cups granola

Also added 1/4 cup flax seeds and 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Melt peanut butter, honey and butter in small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix granola with 3 tablespoons of water (just enough to moisten it). Pour peanut butter mixture over granola and mix well.

Line 8x8 pan with foil, press mixture into pan. Refrigerate over night.

I cut them this morning and then wrapped individually in tin foil.
