Muesli bars!

After making up my own batch of washing powder (thanks to greenrenters.org) to save on dollars at the supermarket, I turned my attention to delicious but pricey Carmans muesli bars we love so much.

This recipe makes the equivalent of two boxes for the price of one - the only thing tricky about this is spelling muesli!!!

Get:
Five cups of your favourite cereal - I use organic oat, fruit and nut breakfast mix
Half a cup of butter
Half a cup of honey
One third of a cup of brown sugar
One teaspoon of Arabic all spice or cinnamon
One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Make:
Put your cereal on a baking tray and toast it in the oven until its slightly golden - the longer you do it for the crunchier it will be

In a small pot, melt the butter, honey, brown sugar and vanilla - bring to a simmer

Chuck your toasted cereal in a bowl and add your all spice or cinnamon

Add your hot gooey honey butter mixture and stir through until properly combined

Press the mix into a shallow dish, making sure its packed in tight

Cover with foil and leave in the fridge for 2 hours

Take it out, cut it into bars and you have yourself a snack for half the price!!!!
