oats

peanut butter, smooth style, without salt

spartan, real semi-sweet chocolate baking chips,

In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and the quick-cooking oats.
Set aside.
Place the brown sugar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla extract.
Stir until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Thoroughly spray and coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and pour the granola bar mixture into the pan.
Press the granola bar mixture into an even layer and press the mixture up against the sides of the pan, until the bars are about 3/4 of an inch in thickness.
