Chewy muesli bars (granola bars)
Recipe video above. These are chewy, no-bake muesli bars that will keep for 2 weeks. Cheaper, tastier and much healthier than store-bought, it's also an excellent way to clear out random leftover nuts and dried fruit. Just stick to the recipe ratio of "glue" to add-ins (3 1/2 cups total). My combination is a dead-ringer for Australia's popular Carmen's Classic Fruit & Nut Muesli Bars (which cost $6.50 for 6!).After crunchy muesli bars? Here they are!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Mix Add-ins - Using a wooden spoon, mix the add-ins in a large microwaveable bowl (just in case, Note 4).
2
Glue - Using a rubber spatula, mix the peanut butter and honey in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Once combined, turn the stove down to low. As soon as you start seeing little bubbles around the edges, cook for ⏱️ 5 minutes, stirring constantly scraping the base, until it is like a very thick caramel (see photos and video in post). You should be able to draw a path across the base and it holds before closing in on itself. DO NOT WALK AWAY, it will catch easily. (Note 5)
3
Mix - Immediately pour it all over surface of the oats etc then mix with the wooden spoon. It takes a bit of effort but it does come together eventually. Stabbing and smearing against the wall of the bowl helps. If it gets too thick, microwave for ⏱️ 20 seconds on high to loosen the glue then mix (then it's a breeze!).
4
Press - Put a square piece of paper over a 20cm/8" square tin (no need to grease). Drop muesli mix in then spread right into the corners, using a combination of your hands and the wooden spoon. Firmer press = chewier muesli bars.
5
Set - Refrigerate ⏱️ 2 hours until firm then cut into 10 bars (cut in half, then each half into 5).
