Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse

Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
1/4 cup hulled green pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 by
8-inch baking dish and set aside.

In a small saucepan melt butter with honey over low heat, stirring.

In a large bowl stir together oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower
seeds, cinnamon and salt. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until
combined well.

On a large baking sheet, spread the granola evenly in a thin layer. Bake, stirring

every 5 minutes to keep from sticking or burning, until golden brown and crisp,
about 20 minutes. (Do not overcook; the granola will crisp more when cooled.)

Cool the granola in the pan on top of the stove and stir in the raisins. When the
granola is completely cooled, place in a large bowl.

Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter in a small saucepan over
medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is
at a boil. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the granola, stirring
to coat well. Cool slightly and press into the prepared baking dish and let cool
completely and harden. Cut the mixture into ten 1 1/4 by 4-inch bars and serve at
room temperature. (The bars may be kept in an airtight container at room
temperature for up to 1 week.)
