Eating: Cereal Granola Bars

I have love/hate relationship towards granola bars. I love that I can sneak one (or three) in my pencil case and discreetly snack during class. Most of the time, I get hungry within an hour after eating, and granola bars are the only thing that can sustain me. However, some packaged granola bars are seriously gross. You know, like those ones with this sickeningly sweet coating of corn syrup or something similar.

My mother brought these cereal bars home from work. They were homemade, and tasted great. The bars had the right amount of sweetness and were really soft and chewy. Are cereal bars considered granola bars? Granola can be defined as cereal so I'm just going to say yes. These bars were made of some brand of cereal flakes (possible Kellogg?), with some seeds, raisins, and dried cranberries. I don’t imagine that cereal bars such as these would be too difficult or time consuming to make. You just put whatever you want in a bowl and stir some sugar binder in it. I think I might try to make my own cereal/granola bars sometime...when I have the time...

Also, I am desperately trying to take better pictures. I find it best when I have natural light, but seeing as that is not possible most of the time, I do try my best to edit the pictures so that they aren't overly YELLOW.
