Mona Z's Granola Bars!

Ok like I want to eat the picture of them, they look amazing!! Here's a recipe from my friend Mona Z.

From Mona Z:
I made these Granola Bars last night and they came out so delicous. They are chock full of oats, walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins and sunflower seeds.
Here's the recipe, from good old RecipeZaar. They're called Triple Threat Oatmeal Bars. The recipe called for coconut but I put chocolate chips instead. Healthy, huh? They're still a pretty hearty snack and the kids and my mom loved them!
