Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Coat 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray, margarine or butter.
  3. Mix cereal, nuts and dried fruit in medium bowl. Combine nut butter, agave & brown rice syrup in heavy small saucepan.
  4. Bring to boil, whisking constantly until mixture bubbles vigorously and thickens slightly, about 1 minute BURNS EASILY, EVEN WHEN STIRRED NON-STOP.
  5. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture in bowl; stir to blend. Transfer mixture to prepared pan; press to compact.
  6. Bake until just golden around edges, about 8-10 minutes.
  7. Cool completely. Cut into bars with a serrated knife. Store in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature.
  8. NOTE: I prefer when the puffed cereal is substituted with (Trader) Joe’s O’s and some Raisin Bran. In place of nuts and fruit, I used Trader Joe’s Tempting Trail Mix and another variety, plus added dried tart cherries, coconut, and sesame seeds.
  9. DOUBLE THE RECIPE and bake in a 9x13 pan for 12-15 minutes for a family of three or more. Everyone will love these and you'll be making them all the time because they are better and far less expensive than any brand name version.
