Energy Bars

3 cups rice krispies (or brown rice crisps)  

2 cups quick oats

¼ cup (1/2 block) butter

1 pkg (10½ oz) miniature marshmallows

½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter)

½ cup unsalted peanuts

½ cup sunflower seeds

½ cup golden raisins

½ cup chopped dried apricots

½ cup dried cranberries

Heat rice krispies and oats in a large pot on low heat.  At the same time, melt margarine, marshmallows and peanut butter in a small pot on low heat.  Add peanuts, sunflower seeds, raisins and apricots to heated cereal.  Pour melted mixture into cereal mixture.  Mix to coat.  Work quickly as mixture hardens fast.  Turn into 9x13 pan, lightly greased with butter.  Press to flatten.  Cut into desired pieces while still warm.  Place on individual pieces of waxed paper.  Let cool on waxed paper, then wrap.  (I cool on one big piece of wax paper then wrap individually)

Use non-stick pots if possible to make cleaning easy.  (I use two non-stick woks)
