Trina's Energy Bars

My daughter’s volleyball team won the district tournament which qualified them for the Volleyball State  Tournament.  It was going to be a long bus ride so they assigned each girl to bring different snacks.  Josey was assigned to bring a couple of boxes of granola bars.  She encouraged me to make a recipe I got from Trina call Energy Bars.  She said everyone likes them a lot better than granola bars.  They taste great and have some very nutritious ingredients, which makes coaches and moms happy.

TRINA'S ENERGY BARS

In a large bows mix the dry ingredients.

4 cups Rice Krispies

3-1/2 cups whole oatmeal

1-1/2 cup nuts (any kind you like-Peanuts, Almonds, Sunflower seeds, etc.)

Then you can add whatever else you would like such as:

Craisins

Raisins

Marshmallows

Etc.

Melt together over low-med. heat.

2-sticks of butter

1-1/2  16oz. pckg. Marshmallows

1/4 -1/2  cup honey

1 cup peanut butter

 

When melted, add to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.  Press into greased 13" x 18" cookie sheet and cool.  Melt  Peter’s chocolate and peanut butter (everything is better with Peter's chocolate).  Spread on top of cooled bars and cool until chocolate is set.

 I cut them up and packaged them individually in ziplock sandwich bags.  


                        I can say that energy bars are the snack of Champions.  Way to go team!
