Crunchy Trail Mix Bars

One of our favorite summer weekend activities is camping.  This recipe sounds like it could be a new added camping treat.  My only worry is Yogi might steal our picnic basket!

Crunchy Trail Mix Bars

4 cups Multigrain Cheerios cereal
3 cups trail mix
1 cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup margarine or butter
2 Tbs all-purpose flour
½ cup c light corn syrup

Grease 13x9 inch pan with shortening, or cooking spray.
 In a large bowl, mix cereal & trail mix; set aside.

In 2-qt sauce pan, melt margarine over medium heat.  Stir in brown sugar, flour & corn syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil.  Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Pour mixture evenly over cereal mixture; toss to coat.  Press mixture in pan.  Cool 10 minutes. 
Cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.

Tupps Tidbits ~ stir frequently to avoid burning & when pouring the sauce over the cereal mixture be careful not to burn yourself

I am not really sure how these can be healthy or “eating better” after adding the margarine, sugar & corn syrup but does it really matter when they taste so good? They are definitely a KEEPER…..we will be taking these on our next hike but kept secure and away from any bears.
