Ingredients

1 cup whole grain crispy puffed rice cereal or old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup peanut butter creamy natural
1/2 cup chocolate chips dark or semisweet
1/2 cup peanuts or almonds
1/2 cup pretzels chopped
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 tbs. chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

Stir all ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. (This step is important -- it makes the mixture easier to shape.)
Remove and shape into small 1-inch balls, or press into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking pan to make granola bars.
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
**It is not essential that these be refrigerated, but it helps the balls to keep their shape.
