Granola Bars...

...but certainly not the health-food kind.  As devoured at Sunday Night Dinner.

Ingredients:

1 c. unsalted butter

1 3/4 c. brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1-2 tsp cinnamon (I usually also add nutmeg)

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour

3 c. granola with all large bits (id est, walnut halves) removed

1 c. dried cranberries

1 c. white chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Beat in vanilla.  Add dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.  Pour in granola and stir; if using an electric mixer, it might be a good idea to switch to a wooden spoon.  Add cranberries and white chocolate chips (although you could also use raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, butterscotch, etc).  Spread evenly in the bottom of a greased 13x9 baking pan.  Lick the spatula and the bowl thoroughly to avoid wasting any delicious calories.  Bake for 20-25 minutes in a 375 degree oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges victorious, by which I mean clean.  Let cool.  Cut into bars while warm.
