These homemade granola bars could not be easier to make. Dates, peanut butter and honey create the glue that keeps everything sticking together. Toasting the hazelnuts gives these bars a fragrant, nutty flavor and helps loosen their skins, which can lend a bitter flavor if left on. If you don’t want to use hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews or pecans can be used in their place.
