Nutty Snack Bar Recipe

Here's a recipe for the Nutty Snack Bar I mentioned in the What's For Lunch article.

1 cup nut butter of choice (preferably homemade from crispy nuts)
1/4 to 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1 cup crispy almonds, chopped into small or large pieces
1 cup dried coconut
1/2 cup crispy sunflower seeds
1 cup carob or chocolate chips or dried fruit of choice (such as dried cherries or raisins)

Mix everything together and press into a baking dish. You can leave this recipe raw and place it into the refrigerator as is or allow the flavors to meld and the chips to melt by baking it for approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Good stuff!
