There's a fine line between an epic win and an epic fail

Last night I decided to make my very own granola bars. You can find the recipe here. It's a really simple recipe to make and it's a ton of fun.

The "glue" was made out of brown sugar, honey, and butter so it's really sweet and makes everyone come out into the kitchen to see what that wonderful smell is. After that's all melted together you combine it with your granola in a big bowl.



You can read all of the other directions in the link if you'd like, but the most important part of the recipe is where all of the granola is in your pan and you must compress the granola down to make it all stick together. If you don't complete this part properly, you'll end up with granola clumps disguised as granola bars like I did. So to help my granola clumps, I placed them into the fridge in the hopes that they will harden up. Sadly, they didn't. However I did make a nifty sign to alert late night refrigerator vistors! (Also as a disclaimer: one in the morning is not the time to realize that you don't remember how to spell refrigerator! =])



Even though my granola bars didn't turn out perfect, they are still quite yummy and I was able to make quite a few to take to work with me for snack time with the campers! Besides, who wouldn't want a granola bar the size of Schotzie's head?
