Nut Granola Bars
In a large bowl combine
1 tablespoon brewer's yeast
1/4 cup each of all the following:
wheat germ bran - All Bran - Bran Buds
soy bean flakes - soy protein - soy grits
wheat flakes
rye flakes
oatmeal
oat bran
peanuts (All nuts unsalted and chopped not to fine)
pistachios

almonds

brazils
cashews
walnuts
pecans
flax seed
sunflower seed
cocoanut (flaked or ribbon or both)
sesame seeds
pumpkin seeds
poppy seeds (boil in the syrup and they won't be gritty)
any dried fruits (raisins, currants, dates,etc)
You can add, subtract or substitute any of these ingredients, and start out with small amounts i.e., 1/4 cup of each, and add more if needed. You must add some rice krispies, puffed rice, puffed millet or some such cereal or it will be too hard to cut. Add enough cereal to make up 9 to 10 cups of mixture.
Line 12" X 18" pan with foil and spray with Pam.
Syrup
2 cups corn syrup
3/4 cups sugar
1/4 lb. margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter (optional)
Boil syrup, sugar and margarine to a little less than soft ball stage, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Pour over nut cereal mixture and stir until completely coated. Spread evenly in pan and bake in 400 degree oven till syrup starts to bubble again, no more than ten minutes. Remove from oven, cover with plastic and roll with rolling pin until nice and solid. Let cool and cut into bars. Wrap and keep in covered container so they don't get dry and hard.
