The combination is perfect in snacks, too! These granola bars have just that combination with chocolate, caramel, and pretzels.

These three ingredients combine to make a granola bar that tastes as good as a dessert but that is healthy enough for a snack!

While it’s easy to go to the store and buy a box of granola bars, it is easier to make these! They take about 5 minutes total to whip together.

If you don’t have the patience to let them set up in the refrigerator, you could just eat them right away!

No waiting at stoplights, no finding the shortest grocery line to wait in, and best of all, no unknown ingredients!

Oats, flaxseed, and oat bran give these granola bars a nutritional boost, and honey ties everything together. 

The pretzels give these chewy granola bars a nice crunch when you bite into the chocolate and caramel.
