Easily ADDICTIVE! These colorful bars provide crunchiness, energy and a cure for the munchies! Great for lunchboxes, hikes, trips or after a workout at the gym. Our hands can't stay out of the cookie jar on these! Ingredients:
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats |
2 cups rice krispies |
1/2 cup craisins (dried cranberries) |
1/2 cup shredded coconut |
3/4 cup almonds, sliced |
3/4 cup light corn syrup |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
3/4 cup peanut butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Line a 9 x 13 inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Mix rolled oats, cereal, craisins, coconut and almonds in a large bowl. Set aside. (I cut the coconut with two knives so it will not be stringy.)
3. In a saucepan, mix corn syrup and brown sugar. Bring to a boil while stirring. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir just to blend well.
4. Pour over oats and fruit mixture. Stir and mix well. Press mixture firmly onto pan. (I place a piece of wax paper on top while pressing hard.) Let cool and cut into bars. Store in air-tight container. Freezes well, if securely wrapped.
5. Enjoy!
