Ohio Express, that's the name of the group that sang the song Chewy. I googled the lyrics and I could sing the whole thing! I thought maybe it was an Archie song or the Partridge Family ;-), but now I have the facts. Don't know how long ago that was, I was in grade school I think.
Speaking of chewy, I made some CHEWY granola bars that are fudgie tasting, and ohhh so good. I was telling Heather about them, and she requested I post it ASAP....so here goes.
CHEWY GRANOLA BARS
1 -10 1/2 oz bag mini marshmallows
2/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup butter - cubed
1/4 cup white corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
Microwave these 5 ingredients in microwave until blended.
Stir in remaining ingredients:
4 cups quick oats (I found whole grain quick oats)
1 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup coconut (Heather will leave this out!)
1/2 cup sunflower kernels
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
2 Tbsp wheat germ-toasted
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
Spread into a 9x13 pan that has been greased. Press down and bake @ 350* 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
I lined my pan with parchment paper so I could lift it out to cut the bars. Also, I didn't have peanuts or wheat germ, still really good without it. I almost substituted another type of nut, but there seemed to be a lot in the recipe already. I would suggest having the last group of ingredients measured out, ready to go because it starts to set up and gets tough to stir. I cut my bars and put them in airtight containers to keep them fresh.
There's so gall-dern much humidity right now ya know..... (she said with her best Fargo, ND accent)
