Homemade Granola Bars

Here's a great homemade granola bar recipe we have been making for a few years now. We all love them, kids and adults. I keep meaning to try out a homemade version of sweetened condensed milk, but for now I just use the canned stuff. I double the recipe and cook these in a 9X13 pan.

Ingredients
2 C oats
1/2 C wheat germ
1/2 C almonds (I pulse them in the blender so they aren't large chunks)
1/2 C chocolate chips (we like dark chocolate chunks)
1/2 C dried fruit (we usually use cranberries)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Mix all the dry ingredients well and then stir in the sweetened condensed milk. I use plastic wrap to press the mixture down into the pan. Bake about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool, then put the pan in the fridge or freezer. When they are firm, use a sharp knife to cut them into granola bar shape. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
