    Spray a 9” x 13” baking dish with non-stick product.
    
    Measure out, mix and set aside:
    
           4 cups Grape Nuts cereal (wheat & barley 
                  nugget-type cereal)
            1 cup rolled oats
            1 cup sliced almonds
            1 cup dried cranberries
    
    In a large saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine:
    
          1/2 cup sugar
       1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
            1 cup peanut butter
    
    Bring to a boil and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
    
    Add dry mixture; mix well and spread in pan.  Cool, cut and cover until
    ready to serve.
    
    Tips:
    
    1.  This recipe is vegan, parve (non-dairy), and probably okay for those
        with Candida.
    
    2.  I ran out of rolled oats once and used the quick cooking ones. The 
        bars were a little less crunchy, which may appeal more to some people,
        especially kids.
    
    3.  The recipe does not specify creamy or chunky peanut butter — I always
        use creamy, but I’m sure chunky would be fine — and maybe better.
    
    4.  I “pre-cut” the bars after spreading the mixture in the pan — makes
        it much easier to cut after they cool.
    
    5.  These keep well, and I have even frozen them.
