Ooey Gooey CherryMan Granola Bars – Gluten Free

At our house, we love Maraschino Cherries and Cherry Man has some fantastic cherries!  We also love granola bars.  Here is an ooey gooey homemade granola bar recipe that is easy and yummy and the kids can even help!    granola bar
I used Bear Naked Bearly Processed Granola.  It was flavored with Honey and contained almonds.  And it was filled with protein!

I removed the stem from each of the cherries and chopped them up.   After everything was mixed, I folded my cherries into my batter.  Oh yeah, I also added Nestly Toll House Chocolate Chunks!  
Mixing
I buttered a baking dish and mashed my granola into the the dish.  I popped it in the oven and baked.  Once it was done, I let it cool and then cut it into bars.  My boys loved it.  From one, I heard “This is the best granola bar I have ever had!”

How do you do your Ranch?!?!

Just how do you do your Ranch?  I was asked if I wanted to join this fun blog hop using Hidden Valley Ranch packet!   It was fun and the result was super yummy!!!   Ranch Cream Cheese

I absolutely love Philadelphia Cream Cheese.   We always have it in the house.  I decided I would mix the Ranch dip packet with my block of cream cheese.  I only used half of the packet for my 8 oz bar of cream cheese, saving the rest for another time. ingredients

Fortunately for me, the Hidden Valley Ranch dip packet is gluten free!!!!   I have also just recently found Glutino’s Gluten Free Bagel Chips!  They are fantastic and you’d never know they were gluten free.  My family loves them!   And they go perfectly with my Ranch Cream Cheese! IMG_5077

This makes a delicious hors d’oeuvre for a before dinner snack or a get together!
