1 c. walnuts
1 c. prunes
1 c. dried fruit*
1/4 c. honey
1 t. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon

1 1/2 c. Barbara's Brown Rice Crisps cereal

• Place almonds in a food processor and pulse to coarsely chop.
• Add remaining ingredients except cereal and process until finely chopped, but not pureed.
• Place in a large bowl and mix in cereal by hand.
• Using your hands, press firmly into a 3/4-inch thick square on a cutting board.
• Cut into 1-inch squares.
• Place squares on parchment paper or lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 200 for 30 minutes.

*The original recipe calls for 1-inch pieces of dried mango.  I didn't have mango, so I used dried apples.
