Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp EDEN Barley Malt Syrup
- 1 cup organic maple syrup
- 1⁄4 cup organic creamy peanut butter, optional
- 10 ounces organic crispy brown rice cereal, (about 8 cups)
- 1⁄3 cup EDEN Dried Cherries, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄3 cup EDEN Dried Cranberries
- 1⁄3 cup EDEN Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
- 1⁄4 cup EDEN Pistachios
- 1⁄4 cup EDEN Tamari Roasted Almonds, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup Thompson Organic Seedless Raisins
Directions
- Place the syrups and peanut butter into a small saucepan and whisk thoroughly to mix. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir or whisk frequently, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until the syrup thickens and drips slowly from the spoon.
- Place the crispy cereal, dried fruit, seeds, and nuts in a mixing bowl. Pour the hot syrup over the mixture and mix thoroughly to coat all ingredients.
- Lightly moisten a glass baking dish with cold water. With moistened hands, place the mixture in the baking dish and press it down evenly and firmly.
- Place the dish in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the syrup to harden. Remove and slice into bars or squares.
- Store in a covered container on the counter or refrigerate.
