This quick recipe is a treasure. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like these bars. Not to mention, they taste a lot like the ones you can purchase.

Of course, you could change things up and add different flavored chips, mix in some peanut butter or other nut butter, or mix in a little coconut. Have fun with the options!
