Introduction
I hate the price of all the "nutritional" bars on the market. I decided to mix up a batch of my own and based it on the traditional rice cereal treat. By replacing 2-3 cups cereal with trail mix, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or granola, I've come up with some tasty treats. This blend is with a "bulk" blueberry granola & dry roasted almonds.There are no additional oils or butters used in this recipe. I use parchement paper to press the mixture in parchment lined pan to form the bars. I hate the price of all the "nutritional" bars on the market.

Ingredients
-
½ cube of unsalted butter
½ package (about 8 oz) large marshmallows
3 cups crispy rice cereal
2 ½ cups Wild Blueberry with Flax Granola (Golden Temple from Raley’s bulk foods)
1 cup chopped almonds, unsalted dry roast
Directions
In a large nonstick pot, melt butter and marshmallows until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine cereals and nuts to evenly distribute.
Combine with the hot marshmallows to coat evenly.
Pour into a 9x12” pan lined with parchment paper.
Use a second sheet of parchment to press down evenly and into the corners.
Let sit 15 minutes or until cool.
Pull out, using parchment paper and cut into bars.
I cut mine into four 3” sections, then cut those into 7 pieces each for 28 bars.
Place bars individually in snack sized baggies and store in an airtight container.
Yield 28 bars, aprox 1"x3"
