Nutella Granola Bars

I am a granola/energy/protein bar fiend. They're portable, tasty and can be quite healthy if you want them to be. Most importantly, they're also extremely customizable. Even though I have about 40-50 bars of many varieties lying in my room right now, none of them taste like the heavenly union between hazelnut and chocolate, which is a problem. Enter, the Nutella Granola Bar.

Nutella Granola Bars

Yield: 15 Bars

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup rice krispies cereal
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips (next time i'm going to replace these with more hazelnuts)
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts (refer to roasting instructions)
• 1/4 cup Nutella
• 2-4 tablespoons honey (depends on how sweet you like it, I think 4 was too many)

1. Preset oven to 350F
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl
3. Microwave honey and nutella for about 30 seconds
4. Mix wet and dry ingredients, hands work well
5. Press into a parchment lined or greased 9" pan (10" would be ideal, I used a 9" and had a bit of mix left, it was delicious 'raw')
6. Bake for 10-14 minutes (10 for chewy bars), allow to cool slightly (but not completely) and cut into bars/squares

Per Bar (using 4 tbsp honey):
