Snack time in our home is a big deal, arguably the best part of any day. I personally make all of my kids snacks homemade with only wholesome and organic ingredients. It’s the best way to save money AND it only takes a few basic ingredients, a few minutes of work, and I have my kids great snacks that I can trust. A lot of store-bought bars have ingredients like natural and artificial flavors that I will not feed to my family, so making these homemade granola bars really gives me some peace of mind.

What kind of white chocolate chips should I use?

I love making these granola bars with these mini white chocolate chips! I don’t know why, but they just make them that much better. But you can really use any type of white chocolate chips. I also like buying these mini white chocolate chips in bulk because we go through a lot, and it is cheaper!

Can I use a different sweetener than honey?

The only other sweetener I have tried for this recipe is maple syrup. I didn’t have enough honey so I used 1/2 cup raw honey + 1/2 cup maple syrup. They turned out great this way, but I have not tested this recipe with any other sweeteners because I wanted to keep in refined sugar free! If you do try this recipe with other sweeteners, feel free to leave a comment to let others know.
