KYLIE'S MUESLI BARS

     MUESLI-BARS - Delicious and nourishing bars for hiking or
     home

     This is a recipe that my daughter, Kylie, has perfected,
     starting from one published in some magazine.  They are
     ideal to use as trail bars, being both filling and full of
     energy, but are also perfect as snacks at home or work.
     When on a hard bushwalk, eating these is a real highlight of
     my day.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 15)
     1 cup     rolled oats
     3 cups    crushed cornflakes
     1 cup     dessicated coconut
     1 1/2 cups
               mixed dried fruit
     3 1/2 Tbsp
               full cream milk powder
     4 oz      butter
     1/2 cup   packed brown sugar
     1/2 cup   honey
     1/2 cup   peanut butter

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Mix the oats, cornflakes, coconut, dried fruit and
               milk powder together in a big bowl.

          (2)  Simmer butter, sugar, honey and peanut butter
               together for 3 minutes, or microwave on high for 4
               minutes (from cold), stirring every minute.

          (3)  Pour sauce into dry mixture and mix well.

          (4)  Press into a biscuit tray and put in refrigerator
               until cold.  Cut when cold.

NOTES
     The bars are best kept in the refrigerator, although it's by
     no means essential.  They soften in the heat but don't
     disintegrate.

     Any other cereal crumbs can be combined with cornflakes to
     make up the 3 cups. It's a good way to use up those other-
     wise annoying scraps.  If too much powdery stuff goes in,
     the bars can be somewhat dense.  Using Rice Bubbles (Rice
     Krispies) gives a lighter texture.

     Dessicated coconut is best, as shredded coconut is too
     course.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 30 minutes.  Precision: Approximate
     measurement OK.
