If you can't find dried berry fruit mix, use equal amounts of raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries and dried blueberries, available at bulk food stores and most supermarkets.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups toasted-oat cereal rounds
- 2 cups mixed dried berry fruit or trail mix
- 1 cup cornflakes
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup liquid honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Preparation
In large heatproof bowl, stir together oat cereal rounds, dried berry fruit mix, cornflakes, rice cereal and coconut.
In saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, honey and salt to boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Boil, stirring constantly, until foamy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Let stand for 1 minute. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
Scrape into prepared pan. Using greased spatula, press firmly into even layer. Let cool completely. Cut into 18 bars. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and store for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
Additional information : Tip:
To use cereal you have on hand, mix together any unsweetened, ready-to-eat breakfast cereal to make 3 cups (750 mL).
