Don't these look delicious?
Ok, ok, I'll share it with you!
I made my own granola for this recipe. You can use store boughten granola if you'd like though.

Granola Bar recipe:
from Bakememore.com
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups granola
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Mix first three ingredients together, spread in a greased 8X8 pan. Spread chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 for 2-3 minutes or until chocolate chips are melted. (You can avoid the whole baking thing by simply melting your chips and pouring them over the granola mixture.) Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the granola mixture. Let cool until set. (about 1 hr. in the fridge). Cut into bars and enjoy.
Makes about 12 bars.
