Granola Bars

we made this last week and the kids really liked it. i used ground flax seed instead of wheat germ, and did not have rice cereal. so i just increased the oatmeal. lastly, i did NOT used an entire cup of choc. chips. it was way too much. i just sprinkled about 1/4 cup (if that). this recipe doubles nicely, since they don't last that long. hmmm.... maybe i'll take a pic of it next time.
