ROCKY ROAD GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine the oats, flax seed, digestive biscuits, walnuts and chocolate chips in a large heat-proof bowl.
• Combine the sugar, honey, corn syrup and butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the mixture starts to boil. Once it has come to a light boil, cook the mixture for 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and kosher salt. Add to the oat mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the marshmallows, if using.
• Scrape the mixture into your prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Place the pan in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up.
• Carefully lift the granola bars out of the pan and slice into 12 equal bars. Wrap individually in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and place in a tightly sealed container.
• For a chewier bar, store in the fridge. For softer bars, store in the cupboard.
