Such a wonderful thing to have on hand when you want something sweet and filling. Peanut-butter-honey-loaded soft granola bar for you? It’s pretty awesome that we can make this whole food-blog-song-and-dance gig work from anywhere. So let’s grab a BEST EVER soft granola bar and have a little snack and catch up.
They are very very VERY easy. They are just the perfect amount of crunchy and salty-sweet. And maybe most importantly, they are soft and they actually stick together and they are delicious to eat. It’s Larabar simplicity meets Sunbelt soft texture meets KIND bar crunchiness.
Also, because the ingredients are so very basic, you can add or change them as needed. I’m guessing that you have most everything in the house right now: peanut butter, honey, pretzels, oats, and peanuts. Take it and run with it, friends. Creamy peanut butter with a spoon. Granola bars on parchment paper cut with a knife. I have something big in the works in this orphanage-meets-blog-meets-impact department, and right now I’m just sort of simmering on it.
Things have been going so well that sometimes I forget that I have a blog. It’s a drink of normal water to not be so consumed with the blog and internet world, even if that means that most of my day is spent having a whopping zero amount of access to wifi and none of my attempted snaps ever go through. CUTE OVERLOAD status, the projects we are working on are challenging and fun, annnnnd we ate this whole batch of granola bars throughout the two days before, two days during, and two days after our long trek to this side of the world.

Couldn’t have happened in the other 350 days of the year. And also, of course, we are on the 8th floor of our hotel.
And to say I am totally freaked out about all of this would be a major understatement. To add to the nervous energy brewing up there in my mind, I am literally sitting here in the hotel room seeing breaking news on CNN about the 8. I’m not even panicking at all. Indonesia is basically our next door neighbor right now. How do people live in places with earthquakes? I’m kidding, in that ha-ha-serious way.
I’ve ever made and they are bomb in flavor and texture. It is worth it for me to use my last ever blog post to tell you this important and life-changing information. Is that not the best Wednesday news a hungry girl could ask for? Pinch of Yum, inspired by these Honey Nut Granola Bars! Toss the oats, crushed pretzels, and salted peanut halves together in a large bowl. Stir the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients in the other bowl.
