Tempt My Tummy Tuesday-chewy granola bars

Today, I want to share one of our go to snacks for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. AG loves them and so does AG's daddy, although, he prefers me to make half with raisins and half with chocolate chips.

Ingredients
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4-1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened -we use dairy free due to AG's cow's milk allergy
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips -we use dairy free
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
raisins (optional)

-Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease or spray 9 x 13 pan.
-In large bowl, beat brown sugar, sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
-Blend in honey, vanilla and egg.
-In separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
-Add flour mixture gradually to sugar mixture and beat until combined.
-By hand, stir in almonds, chocolate chips and oats until well mixed.
-Press mixture firmly in bottom of greased pan, and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden brown.
-Cool and cut into squares.
