The Best Granola Bars revisited

Several posts down I put in a recipe for granola bars. I make them often (not often enough according to my household) I made some the other day that we really liked, so I thought I'd post my alterations here:

I substituted Nutella (doesn't have to be name brand, over half of what I used was the walmart brand) for peanut butter and did a little less honey.
I substituted dark chocolate M&Ms for chocolate chips and left out the craisines and just did raisins...they are awesome!!

I am also going to start cutting the rice crispies back by about 1/2 cup or so because they usually end up too crumbly because there is too much of the dry ingredients. I did that for the nutella ones and they held together better. I did have some of my dry mix leftover from the nutella one and I saved it to add to cookies. Today I finally got the few granola bars left bagged up for lunches and took all the broken bits and crumbles and added it to the dry mix and tossed it all in to my chocolate chip cookie dough with some more chocolate chips. I think they taste okay...we'll have to see what Brian and Joshua say when they get back from stake conference or what the younger two think when they try them. :)
