Homemade Granola Bars

Assalamu alaikom

I was curious to try this recipe for granola bars after reading good things about it from some other moms online.  The main recipe is simple, and you can substitute your favorite mixings to put in it if you want something other than what's in the original recipe.  Here it is:

3 cups quick cooking oats
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk (low fat or skim)
2T melted butter
3-4 cups "other" ingredients of choice such as:
     1 cup flaked coconut
     1 cup sliced almonds
     1 cup mini chocolate chips
     1/2 cup craisins
Grease a 9*13 dish.  Mix all ingredients well, press firmly into the baking dish, and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Once you see brown around the edges you're done.  Or else you'll get much crispier bars.

I'm loving these, and they serve as a good snack for my kids who seem to be hungry all the time.
