From Lamby Loves Cake:

'After making up my own batch of washing powder (thanks to Green Renters) to save on dollars at the supermarket, I turned my attention to delicious but pricey Carmans muesli bars we love so much. This recipe makes the equivalent of two boxes for the price of one - the only thing tricky about this is spelling muesli!'

Ingredients:

  • Five cups of your favourite cereal - I use organic oat, fruit and nut breakfast mix
  • Half a cup of butter
  • Half a cup of honey
  • One third of a cup of brown sugar
  • One teaspoon of Arabic all spice or cinnamon
  • One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Method:

  1. Put your cereal on a baking tray and toast it in the oven until its slightly golden - the longer you do it for the crunchier it will be
  2. In a small pot, melt the butter, honey, brown sugar and vanilla - bring to a simmer
  3. Chuck your toasted cereal in a bowl and add your all spice or cinnamon
  4. Add your hot gooey honey butter mixture and stir through until properly combined
  5. Press the mix into a shallow dish, making sure it's packed in tight
  6. Cover with foil and leave in the fridge for 2 hours
  7. Take it out, cut it into bars and you have yourself a snack for half the price!!!!
