These sweet and salty snack bars are perfect for a midday pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- ¾ cups Almonds, Chopped
- 8 cups Plain Popped Popcorn
- 2 cups Old-fashion Rolled Oats
- ½ cups Raisins
- ½ cups Thinly Sliced Dried Apricots
- ¾ cups Honey
- ¾ cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Spread coconut on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, stirring once or twice, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Wipe off baking sheet and spread almonds on it. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once or twice. Transfer to bowl with coconut to cool.
Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine popcorn, oats, coconut, almonds, raisins and apricots.
In a small pan over low heat, combine honey, brown sugar, and salt. Cook, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Pour honey mixture over popcorn mixture. Stir until all of the ingredients are well-coated and there are no dry spots.
Transfer mixture to baking dish. Using lightly moistened palms, firmly press mixture into baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.
Yields roughly 24 bars
