Cranberry Trail
Bars
This is a power
version of traditional crispy rice treats made with different
nuts, coconut and cranberries.
Yield: 24 Servings
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/3 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
3 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
7 cups miniature marshmallows
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, stir together the sesame
seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans and almonds. Cook until the
sesame seeds are starting to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
Add coconut, and stir until sesame seeds are golden. Watch
carefully, as they burn easily. Stir in the cranberries
and cereal, and remove from heat. In a large saucepan, combine
the peanut butter, butter and marshmallows. Cook and stir
over low heat until marshmallows are melted. Pour in the
cereal and nut mixture, and stir until evenly coated. Press
lightly into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Let stand
until cool, then cut into bars. Store in an airtight container,
or wrap individually in plastic wrap
