Here's a flexible recipe that you can vary according to your preference or the ingredients you have on hand. (originally published by Elizabeth Quinn on About.com:
-3 cups puffed wheat or other puffed grain cereal
-3/4 cup chopped dried fruit (raisins, figs, pitted dates, cherries, cranberries, etc.)
-1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, peanuts, almonds, etc.)
-1/3 cup peanut butter
-1/4 cup honey
-1/4 cup light corn syrup
-1 pinch salt (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x9 brownie pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix cereal, fruit, and nuts in a bowl. Combine peanut butter, honey, and corn syrup in a small pan and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture and stir until combined. Press mixture into pan and bake 10 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Makes about 10 bars.
