Car Snack 2 (The Sweet Bar)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey (or Lyle's Golden Syrup, if you can find it)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup sliced almonds ( I used pecans)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper for pulling the finished product out of the pan.
2. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and syrup in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until melted, about 3 minutes.
Add oats, salt, and almonds to the mixture and coat thoroughly.
Transfer to the prepared pan and pat down with spatula.
Bake until the edges darken, about 25 minutes. The mixture will be soft when you take it out of ther oven, but allow it to cool completely before taking out of the pan and cutting into bars.
Store at room temperature in a covered pan, 10 days. Or wrap individually for convenience. Can be stored in the freezer, individually wrapped and in a freezer bag for 4 months.
After my kids tried them, they really liked them and said that they are more like dessert, then a granola bar...I guess that is why they are also called the sweet bar.
