Granola's a popular treat with children, and this one couldn't be easier to prepare. I flavor it with lots of tasty good-for-you ingredients. It's perfect to send in bag lunches or to serve after school. I've also used it as an "in-the-car" treat when we take family vacations. —Marlene Mohr, Cincinnati, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 2-2/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or M&M's

Directions
