Week 2 Day 3 of BM #60 -
Does it ever happen to anyone that the kids ask for a certain cereal and when the box comes home, they eat once or twice and you get to hear "I don't like it any more" or "I am bored of it" or "I thought I will like it but I didn't like it"? It happens all the time at our place. The dad gets all kinds of new things for the little one and then I am left with the job of disguising those and somehow using them up.
The Cocoa crackles in this recipe falls into that category. But I am happy that I finally managed to finish off the box and the kids were happy to munch away these bars! I found that these bars can be sliced into bite size pieces for the little ones to munch these away in between their play time.
Ingredients -
Rolled Oats 2 cups
Cocoa Crackles 2 cups (Chocolate based cereal)
Almonds roughly chopped 1/2 cup
Cashews broken bits 1/2 cup
Sunflower Seeds handful
Sesame Seeds handful
Dried Cranberry handful
Honey 1/3 cup
Butter 2 Tbsp
Sugar 1/2 cup
Method Of Preparation -
Grease a 13X9 oven safe dish and dust some flour and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except honey and butter, mix well.
Add butter and honey and mix well to get a sticky mixture.
With oiled fingers, pat the mixture evenly in the greased and flour dusted baking dish.
Make sure the mixture is packed tightly. I used an oiled spatula to uniformly press the mixture firmly.
Bake it for 20 min, switch off the oven and leave it in the oven for another 10 min.
Let it stay on the counter to cool. Cut them into required sized bars. Refrigerate for at least 30 min after which the bars come out easily.
Wrap them in cling wrap and store in an air tight container.
