Homemade Chewy Granola bars

I just made these and they are great.

2 cups rice cereal
2 cups dry oatmeal- i used the quick cooking ones
1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit. I did half raisin and crasins
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

optional
I also add about 1/2 cup flaked coconut and and 1/8 cup white chocolate chips.
experiment with different things you might like

combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl and mix well.
In a small pan combine sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil. remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla. pour over cereal mixture and stir well. then pack firmly into 9 x13 greased pan. cut into 16 bars. then put in fridge to cool and firm. Then enjoy!

I love making homemade things!
