7 cups cereal, like rice krispies or corn flakes
1/2 cup (120g) butter
500g marshmallows
1/2 cups sunflower seeds
3/4 cups sesame seeds
1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup hazelnut pieces
1/2 cup dried chopped apricots
1/2 cup dried cherries
3/4 cup raisins
Okay..... there are a lot of ingredients here.....However, you don't have to put them all in there! This is a great way of getting some fruit and seeds into our bellies! Again, this is a 'make it to please yourself' so leave out the stuff you don't like or to make them a cheaper option.
1. Butter a 9"x9" pan & line with parchment paper. Your going to need a monster size pot (think stock pot) for this one!
2. To toast the nuts or not to toast... that is your option! If you do, let them cool & then chop them up.
3. Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large pot, stirring constantly. When melted, remove from the heat.
4. Still stirring, immediately add the nuts, seeds, raisins, cherries, raisins, & cereal (& anything else you fancy!). Mix well and press into the prepared pan. Cut into squares.

Notes
- Stir this as quick as you can. The longer you wait, the more opportunity this mix has to weld itself to your pot!
- If you butter your hands, you should be able to press the mix into the pan without it sticking to you.
-- If you want to mix in chocolate chips, wait to the very end... I have to say, I have never been able to do this without all of them completely melting into the mix. Sprinkling them on top might work better.
