Mix one cup of honey and one cup of peanut butter in a saucepan and warm it enough so that they blend smoothly, blend in 3 cups of oats and half a cup of raisins/ dried fruit / nuts and press into an 8 inch square pan.

Chill and cut into 8 bars, wrap them in saran or foil and you are done.

Prep time is less than 20 minutes, they should chill until they are firm which takes about an hour or less if you pop them in the freezer.

They run about 300 calories per bar depending on the extra half a cup of whatever makes you happy... some people use chocolate but I can't handle the sweetness.

Almond butter works just as well for those who can't handle peanuts (make this version for my wife and kid's lunches) and I sometimes replace a little of the honey with maple syrup for a different flavour.

My kids think these are the best snack ever.
