Do you love ginger? I certainly do! And since I love granola bars as well, I had to create a recipe to match my two loves. And I did. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Notes
*You can replace grape syrup with honey. If you do so, make sure you will be using 1/3 cup honey and 1/3 cup peanut butter, because honey is thicker than grape syrup.
Candied ginger is sold in spice shops, and candied pineapple can be found in all large supermarkets, as well.
You can also use a loaf pan. The thickness of the bars depends on the size of the pan.
When the weather is warm you can keep the Granola Bars with Candied Ginger, Pineapple and Spices for about 2 weeks. Otherwise you can keep them longer.
