Biscoff Granola Bars

Do you crave oats, chocolate chips, and cookies but want it to be a little healthier than cookies? Well then these Biscoff granola bars are for you. If you aren’t familiar with Biscoff spread then you are in for a treat. I was introduced to it by my sister-in-law about a year ago then I bought my own jar. I haven’t made anything with the yummy spread until now because I tend to eat it straight from the jar :). Biscoff spread is made from these little European cookies that you have probably had on an airplane as a snack, they are crispy spiced cookies that taste like no other. Since the Biscoff spread is so popular now the cookies are also on the shelves at the grocery store. These bars come together really quickly and they do not have to be baked. Biscoff granola bars are great for lunches and for snacks on the go. I think once you try making your own granola bars you will be making them again and again. The original recipe for these yummy bars comes from two great blogger my friend Erin from her blog over at Dinners Dishes and Desserts and from Two Peas and their Pod

Biscoff Granola Bars

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Biscoff Spread (I used crunchy)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups quick cooking oats
2/3 cup Rice Krispies
1/4 cup mini-chocolate chips or whatever you have

Directions:
Step 1: Line an 8 inch square baking dish is foil or parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, honey, and Biscoff spread. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it beings to bubble. Once it starts bubbling, cook for 2 minutes, stirring the entire time. Turn off the heat, and stir in the vanilla.
Step 3: Add the oats, Rice Krispies, stir until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Pour into prepared baking dish. Press the oat mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top, and gently press them into the bars. Place in the fridge for 45 minutes, before cutting. Store in an air tight container.

These look delicious, Suzanne!!! Can I have a few for daily snack time? I love that you incorporated biscoff!

6 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:12 pm

Yes Carol but it’s hard to eat just a few 🙂

Suzanne, could you believe that I have never tried Biscoff? And another thing, could you believe that I have been looking out for this precious jar for almost a year now – since seeing all the tasty blog posts around – but have never seen it on the shelves of Toronto supermarket?? And another unbelievable thing is, my friend in the Philippines has found a jar there and has been raving about this stuff!!! But seriously, these bars can’t be missed! I am on the hunt for that “golden” jar!

8 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:11 pm

That’s crazy Jen that in the Philippines they have it but not Canada, well while your on your diet you may as well not find the jar since you’ll be eating of the jar too 🙂

Love granola bars with biscoff! I would love to have these around to snack on!

10 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:09 pm

the only bad thing about these bars is they are not individually wrapped so I eat more than one bar at a time.

11 Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts February 22, 2013 at 8:27 pm

Love Biscoff, so glad you liked the bars. My jar is almost empty, I am going to have to make another trip to the store soon!

12 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:09 pm

Thanks Erin for giving me the recipe for these yummy bars!

13 Patty February 22, 2013 at 10:06 pm

I’m putting this recipe on my ‘to bake list’ I love everything about them 😉 Have fun;-)

14 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:08 pm

Ha ha bake list!

15 Valerie February 22, 2013 at 10:13 pm

I eat Biscoff from the jar too! (I think we all do.) 😀
These granola bars look amazing!! Love the idea of combining sweet Biscoff with hearty oats.

16 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:07 pm

The jar eaters come out, lol it’s just so good it’s hard to resist.

17 Tessa February 23, 2013 at 9:07 am

These bars look delicious! I’ve never heard of biscoff before. A new ingredient that I must try! Have a great weekend!

18 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:07 pm

Yes, you do need to look for the spread it’s delish!

19 Terra February 23, 2013 at 9:25 am

Your granola bars look delicious, AND sound dangerous with that biscoff spread LOL! These would be perfect for this travelin’ girl, I am always on the go and love just grabbing a granola bar for breakfast, or snack:-) Hugs, Terra

I tend to eat the spread straight from the jar, too, but now I’d really like to try these bars. They’re loaded with all the things I like! 🙂

21 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:06 pm

Glad I’m not the only jar eater 🙂

22 The Café Sucré Farine February 24, 2013 at 4:03 am

Wow, these sound wonderful. I think Biscoff adds magic to just about anything! 🙂

23 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:05 pm

Your so right Chris

24 Nancy/SpicieFoodie February 25, 2013 at 4:40 pm

Yes, to your question and yes, I’ll take a bar please. 🙂 What a great recipe Suzanne! I love bischoff cookies and know they come from here but I’ve never used the spread. Now I have an excuse to. Thanks for sharing.

25 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:05 pm

thank you Nancy, you will love the spread if you like the cookies.

26 Lisa {AuthenticSuburbanGourmet} February 25, 2013 at 9:47 pm

Oh how delicious do these look! Wish I had one right now. Divine!

27 Suzanne February 28, 2013 at 12:04 pm

thanks Lisa we ate these up really fast!

28 Lora @cakeduchess February 27, 2013 at 5:03 am

That spread…oh, that spread. And yes! I do. I do love homemade granola bars and now you have given a recipe to me that I have to try very soon. Love these, Suzanne.xx

I have a weakness for granola bars (and probably everything sweet while we’re at it…) They’re one of those things I have to send away or they’ll get eaten before my husband even makes it to the kitchen to check out what’s going on.

And with Biscoff?! That sounds hazardous. 😉 Insanely delicious but dangerous!

30 Averie @ Averie Cooks March 8, 2013 at 1:48 am

Love these! I love baking with Biscoff and I do a similar bar but usually with PB. Need to try Biscofff in it!
