susan's great trail mix bars

> Peanut Butter Trail Mix Bars-
>
> 6 cups of raw oats (just the regular oats- not quick ones)
> 1 1/2 cups of raisins (I use cranberries instead b/c i don't like raisins)

> 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
* can add unsweetened coconut (optional- I did not)
* can add chocolate chips (1 & 1/2 cups- I added about 1/2 cup bc that's all I had- bc of adding to the heated honey, they will just be melted into the mix so you can't really taste them like in cookies. So I added less just bc of calories :))
> 1 cup of honey
> 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
> 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter
> 1 tsp vanilla
>
Can also add any- dried fruit, other chopped raw nuts, etc.

Combine first 5 ingredients (or all dry ingredients) in a large bowl. Combine honey and syrup in a pot on the stove. Bring to a boil. Add PB and vanilla. Stir until PB is melted. Pour over oat mixture. Then press into 9 x 13 casserole pan. Cool & cut into bars. You can put in freezer if after cooled it is too crumbly.

Enjoy!
