Blueberry Granola Bars

These are similar to the pumpkin granola bars, yet entirely different.

INGREDIENTS
2    cups plain granola, divided
½   cube butter
8    ounces cream cheese
1    basket fresh blueberries, divided
2    eggs
½   cup granulated sugar
¼   cup half-and-half

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Grease a square 8x8 inch baking dish. Put 1 cup of the granola into a food processor or blender and process until crumbly. Pour this into a large mixing bowl. Melt ½ cube of butter and pour it into the processed granola. Mix thoroughly and then put this mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down and flattening it against the bottom of the dish.

Cut the cream cheese into chunks and put it into a food processor. Add ½  of the blueberries, the eggs, sugar and half-and-half. Process to a thick creaminess and then pour this over the crust in the prepared baking dish. Add the remainder of the blueberries evenly into the cream cheese layer, pressing them into the mixture.  Next, sprinkle the remaining granola evenly over the cream mixture.

Bake for about 25 minutes, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving. Refrigerating overnight is also a possibility.
