I have picky eaters at home. If I try to set something infront of them they have not seen before I swear they look ready to break into tears because there is a foreign object on their plate that they have no intentions of putting into their mouths. Parmesan Baked Artichokes? Forget about it. Spaghetti Squash? No way Jose. Asparagus? This one I made the mistake of mentioning it to Walnut that it turns your pee green. He's been terrified of aspargus ever since.
Peanut Butter and M&M Granola Bars
3 cups oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup M&Ms
Add oats to a large skillet and toast until they start to brown. Set aside in a large bowl and add M&Ms to the oats. In the same skillet, add brown sugar, honey, peanut butter and butter. Stir together with a whisk and cook mover medium high heat until the mixuture starts to bubble. Pour mixture over the top of oats and stir together until all oats are coated. Being careful not to burn yourself (the wet mixture is very hot) press granola into a 9x13 pan, being careful not to smush the M&Ms. Let set for about 2 hours until granola hardens and cut into bars.
Enjoy!
