I made these today as a treat for matt when he got home, and he ABSOLUTELY died for them. He told me he's "addicted". So for all you girls out there who have a boy to feed, lemme tell ya, he'll love these. And they're SO EASY and GOOD FOR YOU! Can't go wrong with that! Here it is, Apple-Honey Breakfast Bars:
Ingredients
3 cups Fiber One® Honey Clusters® cereal
1/4 cup roasted sunflower nuts
1/2 cup corn syrup or honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup dried apple slices, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup peanut butter
1. Butter bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan, or spray with cooking spray. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and slightly crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or slightly crush in food processor).
2. In large bowl, mix cereal and sunflower nuts; set aside.
3. In 3-quart saucepan, heat honey, brown sugar, apples and cinnamon just to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter. Pour over cereal mixture; stir gently until evenly coated.
4. Press mixture evenly into pan with back of wooden spoon. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until set. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
if you want to make them even healthier, add flax seed and/or reduce the amount of brown sugar you use ( the honey works great as a sweetener, so i personally don't think they need THAT much brown sugar... )
ENJOY! :)
