I have never made granola bars before and when I saw this recipe I thought I would give it a go. It is school holidays a the moment and I thought these would make a great snack food to leave in the cookie jar. This is a recipe I tagged for a game I play on Zaar and I am so glad I did it so super easy to make and the end result is wonderful and tastes delicious. I had my whole family over for Sunday lunch and I broke these out later in the afternoon so they really got tested out and were met with high praise by all. These could easily be played around with to add differetn fruits and nuts to the mix, I will look forward to that next time.

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
Method
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.

This is a great little recipe that really reminds me of health bars that we get in Australia and since I live on the other side of the world now, this was a nice reminder of home. I tagged this recipe to make for a game I play on recipezaar because it sounded yummy. I was not disappointed it was easy to make and tasted great and because of the fact it was just the dried fruit it was overly sweet which we all loved.
