chewy granola bars!

So I have a REALLY hard time buying granola bars at the store.. i just feel like they are so full of just STUFF that my kids really dont need to eat! And the calorie and sugar content holy schnikes! so i decided one day you know what lets MAKE some and i have the simplest and CHEAPEST recipe for them EVERRRR!!!

3 cups of quick oats (usually under 2 dollars for a 18oz container)
if you want to use granola then replace 1 cup oats with 1 cup granola
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (around 2 dollars)
and WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT!

yes that is REALLY IT! we usually add chocolate chips, craisins and/or mini marshmallows to ours but really you can interpret it how ever you want.

mix the oats and all the other ingredients together and THEN add the can of milk. press into a greased pan bake at 350 for 20-30 mins depending on how crunchy or chewy you want them. as soon as they come out cut them but then just let them sit to cool completely.. and then enjoy them! <3<3

p.s. the little ones love finding stuff to add to it so make it an adventure at the store and let them find something to add to the mix, they will be more likely to try it if they do!
