- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE MUESLI-BARS A "23 Sep 86" 1987
- .RZ "KYLIE'S MUESLI BARS" "Delicious and nourishing bars for hiking or home"
- This is a recipe that my daughter, Kylie, has perfected, starting from one
- published in some magazine. They are ideal to use as trail bars, being both
- filling and full of energy, but are also perfect as snacks at home or work.
- When on a hard bushwalk, eating these is a real highlight of my day.

- .SK 1
- Mix the oats, cornflakes, coconut, dried fruit and milk powder together in a
- big bowl.
- .SK 2
- Simmer butter, sugar, honey and peanut butter together for 3 minutes, or
- microwave on high for 4 minutes (from cold), stirring every minute.
- .SK 3
- Pour sauce into dry mixture and mix well.
- .SK 4
- Press into a biscuit tray and put in refrigerator until cold. Cut when
- cold.
- .NX
- The bars are best kept in the refrigerator, although it's by no means
- essential. They soften in the heat but don't disintegrate.
- .PP
- Any other cereal crumbs can be combined with cornflakes to make up the 3
- cups. It's a good way to use up those otherwise annoying scraps. If too
- much powdery stuff goes in, the bars can be somewhat dense. Using Rice
- Bubbles (Rice Krispies) gives a lighter texture.
- .PP
- Dessicated coconut is best, as shredded coconut is too course.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 30 minutes.
- .I Precision:
- Approximate measurement OK.
