These are pretty much a new take on my granola bars except the ratio flip flopped. The only other difference is you can totally justify binging on the granola bars…
How, one might ask, did I cut that ganache so smoothly that it doesn’t get all over the knife, counter, & granola? The trick to that is wetting the knife with warm water, cleaning it off in between slicing, & repeating with the water. Oh the tips & tricks you learn when you bake 24/7.
If you haven’t noticed I’ve been taking peanut butter really serious lately. Sandwiches, pancakes, even something for my dogs–I can’t stop using it! The combination of flavors in these bars goes together better than, dare I say, PB & Jelly ?.
