  • If desired, you can melt the remaining white chocolate chips and drizzle over the granola bars and then sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberry dust.
  • Place the granola bars into the freezer for about 30 minutes to set. Don't leave them in the freezer longer than this, or they will over-harden.
