SO HOW'D IT GO?
These resemble homemade candy bars, more than granola bars. It's like if a Reese's cup had a baby with a Crunch bar.
Instead of cookies, when batter is still warm, you could press it flat in a pan and perforate the outlines of bars with a fork. That way they could break apart like graham crackers.
Instead of putting it a pan, try dropping by the spoonful on waxed paper (like nobake cookies) - that way there is no cutting! :)
