Sunflower Bars

Sunflowers

Yellow faces
round
as plates;
giants growing
at the gate.
Golden guards
saluting
sky;
garden kings
with chocolate eyes.

Mix these ingredients in a bowl:

  • 1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds
  • 2 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup mini white chocolate chips

Set the bowl aside.

Put these ingredients in another bowl:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Put the bowl in the microwave and microwave on high for 2-4 minutes. Be careful when you remove the bowl—it will be hot!

Mix 1 tsp of vanilla with the melted peanut butter mixture.

Pour the melted mixture over the dry cereal mixture. Mix together with a spoon.

Press the mixture into a greased 13” × 9” pan and let it cool. Once cool, cut into bars and enjoy!
