Directions
Makes 18 Bites

Directions:

* Measure out all of your 'dry ingredients' into a bowl and mix together. Set the bowl aside.
* Add your 'wet ingredients' to a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
* Bring the mixture to a boil and then immediately lower the tempature to low. (You'll want to stir the mixture constantly to avoid burning.)
* Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
* Add the dry ingredients and stir until all of the ingredients are well mix.
* Remove pan from the stove and evenly divide the mixture among 18 muffin tins. (If you're using a non-stick muffin tin, the mixture should stick. Otherwise, line the tins foil muffin cups or wax paper.)
* Let the bites cool to room temperature or in the fridge if they're extra sticky.
* Store in a air-tight container for up to a week.

    Sounds great. I suppose you can find ingredients at a health food store. Brown rice syrup? I'll give it a try. - 8/3/10

    I found it at my local health food store. I thin you could also substitute maple syrup if you can't find the brown rice syrup.
