Energy Bars for the Road

I am making these bars for our trip to Eugene. They are great for road trips and camping. I usually hide them from my husband so he doesn't eat them all in one day.


Energy Bars

Combine and heat on low in oven so it mixes well:
2 cups rolled oats
2 1/2 cups puffed rice cereal
1 1/2 cups dried fruit (try raisins, cranberries, apples)
1 cup nuts (try peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)

Heat until melted:
1/2 block butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 10 oz pkg marshmallows

Pour melted contents over dry ingredients and quickly mix together.
Spread and press into buttered pan.
Sprinkle with dried coconut if desired.
Cool and cut into bars.

These bars can be addicting. The bigger variety of fruits and nuts, the better.
