Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Slivered almonds
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Toasted rice cereal
- 1 cup Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Light Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Water (or apple juice)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup Semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and line with parchment paper one 8x8-inch baking pan. Set aside.
Step 2
Line one cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss together the coconut, almonds, oats, and rice. Place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and carefully return the ingredients to the bowl.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, cook together the Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Light Brown Sugar, water, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly until all ingredients are combined and the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the vanilla and stir. Pour this mixture over the coconut mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan, making sure there are no air pockets. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Cut into 16 bars.
Step 5
If desired, melt the chocolate and using a spoon, drizzle over the bars.
