These granola bars are lunchbox friendly & nut free.  Be warned – these are not just for kids – they are yummy!  The butter, honey & sugar form a light, sticky caramel!

Notes:

I use disposable food hygiene gloves to press the mixture in to the tin, as the mixture is quite sticky.  

The slice will be soft when it comes out of the oven, but will set as it cools.
