Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola Bars

Granola Bars made with my homemade granola from yesterday.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola Bars
2 1/2 cups granola
1 cup Rice Krispie cereal
1/4 cup butter (1 stick)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
   In a medium bowl combine the granola and rice krispie cereal.  In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the butter, peanut butter, honey, brown sugar and 1/2 cup chocolate chips until combined and smooth.  Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.  Pour over the granola mix and stir together until evenly coated.  Pour into 1/2 of a 9x13 pan and lightly push down with the back of your mixing spoon to pack it tightly into the pan.  Pour the remaining chocolate chips on top and gently push them into the granila mix.  Refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting and serving.  These are best when served cold from the refrigerator! When they are brought to room temperature they are a little messy.
