Says Barb Wyman from her kitchen in Hankinson, North Dakota: "Because I love candy bars and marshmallows, this recipe was a cinch to invent—and I’ve yet to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy it! The quick bars make great individually wrapped treats for picnics, lunch boxes or out-the-door snacking. And with all the different layers and flavors, they’re sure to please just about everyone."

I just used the chocolate chip granola bars. Could not find the nutty smores. I had to copy this recipe for the teachers at my sons school. It was a HIT!!!! I will definately make them again and again.

I made these for Christmas and they were amazing!! I used the s'mores granola bars that are in the generic walmart mixed granola bar box. So incredible that I had to share them on my cooking blog (www.smoochinginthekitchen.blogspot.com) This is going into my recipe file to make again for sure!
