Delicious!!! My family couldn't stop talking about how good it tasted! I couldn't find the pecan flavored granola bars either so I used the roasted almond and it turned out just fine!! I also sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top instead of the choc bar pieces. I will definitely be making this again per family request!!

This is a great pie. I couldn't find the Nature Valley Pecan Crunch Crunchy Granola Bars but I used Oats and Honey from Nature Valley and it worked great.
