Too good to be granola!

After I made these treats, I put them into a container to take to a group meeting. My son found them and proceeded to eat several before I found him. He said they were so good. I mentioned they were granola bars, and he said they were TOO GOOD to be good-for-me Granola. Then I told him that they really weren't granola and I would make him some more if he'd stop gobbling up my group's treat. Sneaking good stuff into a teenager is difficult..
