Twigs & Bark

Yes, I know you can buy granola bars at the supermarket ..... and I do. Be that as it may, I saw the Barefoot Contessa make these on TV (it's the rainy season, people so there's a lot of down time), and they looked so good I thought I could concoct them too - even though I did have to heat up the easy-bake oven. My instincts were correct ........... easy-peasey and naturally delicious. I used dates and apricots and dried cranberries, but I imagine you could be as creative as you like. One caveat: these were popular with the DH and disappeared quickly. Now where did I put that mixing bowl?
