Crunchy chocolate chip muesli bars
A box of six or eight commercial muesli bars doesn’t go far when you have multiple kids chowing them down every day. This recipe will yield FOURTEEN generous sized muesli bars, and more again if you decide to be a little less generous when slicing. Chocolatey and crunchy, what else could you want?!
