Particular attention is paid to the appetizers that you can take with you. Therefore, we continue to experiment with interesting, simple, useful, and of course, delicious recipes.

This time we decided to try to cook food bars with nuts mix, dried fruits, chocolate, honey and peanut butter - it has a very, very tasty! And prepares all this is very fast and easy!

The only thing there can be a little tricky - it is a preparation homemade peanut butter. If you do not want to mess around, you can buy in the store.

Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups oat flakes fast food, 1/4 cup flax seeds, sunflower seeds 1/4 cup, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup roasted almonds, 1/2 cup roasted cashews, 1/2 cup of crushed black chocolate, 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup, peanut 1 cup paste. I used a standard cup is 200 ml. If you take a smaller volume of the cup, all the proportions will still be met, a weight gain less.

Preparation. Mix in a bowl all the ingredients, nuts can be a little grind, that did not come across a whole almonds. Then add to agave syrup or honey and mixed well. Then add peanut butter and again all is well mixed to homogeneity.

After that, all that's left to do - is to lay a not very deep, and a small baking dish baking paper, lay out to mix it thoroughly compacted and send in the refrigerator for at least hour. After the mass has hardened, cutting it into cubes and stacked in a pail for storage.

In order to get "kazinaki" from sticking to each other navigate between baking paper or cellophane. Store in the refrigerator better because at room temperature they are very soft and sticky.

Basically, you can add in that bar any nuts and dried fruits. The original recipe has chia seeds, but we have not found them and added. But added some dried cranberries. I think that the raisins, dates and apricots there, too, will not be superfluous. You just need to follow the consistency and by adding extra ingredients to slightly increase the amount of honey or syrup and peanut butter.

And you can not really find it difficult to make calculations, and a mixture of nuts and dried fruits, so she eventually It was equal to the quantity of nuts prescription - 1/2 cup cashews and almonds 1/2 cup = Cup mix dried fruits.
