David's Easy Muesli Bars

Too tempting not to try

This tasty treat is based on a recipe found somewhere and perfected with endless experiments and taste tests. It only takes about 15 minutes to make, let cool and then cut into slices.  The recipe is very forgiving.  Throw in whatever is on hand that sounds nice and then glue it together with the goo.
Easy Peasy.

Ingredients

Dry Bits
1 cup toasted muesli or rolled oats
3 cups Rice Bubbles/Rice Krispies
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup Dried fruit bits (we throw in even more)

Goo mix
125g (4.5oz) butter
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar (normal or raw sugar)

• Chuck all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
• Melt goo mix in saucepan.
• Bring to boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for 5 minutes until the goo is caramel like.  The longer you simmer, the chewier it gets.  Just don't let it burn on the bottom of the pan.
• Throw gooey stuff into the bowl and mix thoroughly, ensuring everything gets well gooed.
• Press into greased (or non stick) lamington tin (20  x 30cm/8in x 12in)  and refrigerate.
• Pretty soon it can be cut into bars. A tray should make about 36 bars.

Options:
• Use Tropical muesli to get a wide variety of fruits and stuff.
• Add in finely cut apricots, dried apples and currants/sultanas for added chew. We usually add about 1 to 2 cups of various fruit medley, etc.
• Use more honey and peanut butter for extra chew.
