Ingredients

Pick one of each group of ingredient:
1 cup [ almond | cashew | sunflower | peanut ] butter.
3/4 cup [ honey|agave nectar ]
1 cup unsulfured [ mango | cherries | raisins | blueberries | apricots | cranberries]
4 cups brown puffed rice cereal
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
wax paper, a 9"x13" pan, and a saucepan
Directions
Step 1: Place dried fruit and roasted nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Or use a knife on the fruit and stick the nuts in a bag and hit them with a big book to break them up.
step 2: Mix your nut butter and sweetener (honey or agave) in a saucepan over medium-low hear until smooth. Continue heating until slightly bubbly. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Add salt and vanilla, mix in thoroughly. Add fruit/nut mixture, mix again. Add puffed rice, mix until coated. Mixture will be extremely thick at this point. Line 9"x13" pan with wax paper.
step 4: Scoop mixture into wax paper-lined pan and spread evenly. Place another sheet of wax paper on top and press down firmly with a flat spatula, or use a rolling pin.
Step 5: Place pan in refrigerator for at least two hours.
Step 6: Remove pan from fridge, pull firm bar mixture out of pan using bottom layer of wax paper and place on a cutting board.
Cut into desired size, enjoy!
These bars will hold for a week or more in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, and hold up very well in a back pocket if wrapped in aluminum foil or cling wrap.
