Granola bars make a great snack, and come in many flavors from oat and honey to peanut butter. These bars are easy to grab and place in a lunch sack. They can be expensive to purchase, but Bangor Hannaford stores sell Sunbelt granola bars that are reasonably priced.
Granola bars can also be used as an added ingredient for other foods. Simply crumble them as much as possible, and add to the recipe of your choice. These ideas will help to get you started:
-
Top yogurt with granola bar crumbles.
-
Or, top ice cream with the crumbles.
-
Use them in place of apple crisp topping.
-
Top cold or hot cereals with a crumbled bar.
-
Add the crumbles to a homemade trail mix.
-
Top a salad with crumbles, rather than using bread crumbs.
-
Use the crumbles to top a homemade bread before baking.
-
Put crumbles on a bowl of pudding.
Your options are limited only by your imagination. Try these crumbles on a variety of foods, and decide what you like best. The crumbles can even be placed in a bowl at a party, for people to grab a handful whenever they want a snack.
