Ingredients

Method

Grease 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan; set aside.

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.)
