To make the bars, preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Add brown sugar and honey and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine, the oats, rice krispies, and hemp seeds. Add the honey mixture and toss to combine. Let cool for a couple of minutes and then stir in the chocolate chips.
Firmly press the mixture into the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.* Let cool completely and then refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours before cutting into bars. Keep refrigerated.
That’s it! The result will be an gooey, soft granola bar. For a firmer bar, pop the sliced bars back in the oven and bake for 10 more minutes.
Hope you enjoy these bars!
