Cranberry Trail Bars
camping recipe
Category: Trail Snacks   Rating: 8.2
Backpacking: No Effort: average Serves: any Prep time: 30-60m
 
Ingredients:
  • 1/3 C. sesame seeds.
  • 1/3 C. hulled sunflower seeds.
  • 1/3 C. chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • 1/3 C. chopped almonds.
  • 1/3 C. unsweetened dried coconut.
  • 3 1/2 C. crisp toasted rice cereal (such as Rice Crispies).
  • 1 C. dried cranberries.
  • 3 TBSP. peanut butter.
  • 2 TBSP. butter or margarine.
  • 7 C. (12 oz.) mini-marshmallows.
 
How to Prepare:
These make-ahead trail bars are a hit with the kids and adults alike. In a medium frying pan over medium heat, combine sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans and almonds until sesame seeds are a pale gold, about 3 minutes. Add coconut and stir until sesame seeds are golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in cranberries and cereal. Remove from heat. Next, combine peanut butter, butter, and marshmallows in a 5-6 qt. pan. Stir often over low heat until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Add cereal mixture and stir quickly to coat evenly. Pour into in a buttered 9 x 13 pan and use the back of a buttered spatula to press into a firm layer. Cool until bars are set and cut into 24 pieces. Store in an airtight container or storage bags for up to three days.

CAMPING TIP

Never spray bug repellent directly on a tent! It will remove the water proofing. Instead, spray a rag and place near the door or opening.
