Emeril’S Nutty Granola Bars

• 3/4 cup honey
• 2 Tbls. unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 1/3 cups slivered almonds (6 ounces)
• Coarse salt
• 1 cup raisins or other dried fruit
• 1/3 cup creamy almond butter or other nut butter
• 1/4 cup light-brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 325 degree, in a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup honey and butter over low. Cook, stirring, until butter melts, 2 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, and pinch of salt. Drizzle honey mixture over oat mixture and stir to combine; wipe saucepan clean. Spread mixture evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely on sheet, 10 minutes. Return to large bowl and add raisins; stir to combine.
3. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish. In saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, almond butter, and brown sugar over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil and sugar dissolves, 10 minutes. Drizzle over oat mixture and stir until combined; transfer to baking dish. With a spatula, firmly press granola into dish. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, and then cut into 16 bars or squares. (Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.)
