Darcee's Granola Bars

Mix together in a large bowl:
2 cups oatmeal
2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flax seed; ground (I use the blender)
1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds
2 cups coarsely chopped nuts
2 cups dried fruit

Mix together in a sauce pan and cook until it's bubbly on the sides of the pan (near boiling):
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1/2 honey
1/2 corn syrup (you can do all honey, but I don't like them that sweet)
1/2 cup butter
4 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
Pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. When set, take out of pan with parchment paper and flip over back into the pan. Remove the paper and cut into bars.

From my dear neighbor, Darcee Waddoups. I tasted them at a ward party, mmm!  Her tips include this gem: "The original recipe says to toast the dry ingredients in the oven, but with the exception of coconut, I couldn't really tell a difference from a toasted/non-toasted version."
