Chewy Granola Bars

• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) package large marshmallows
• 2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups oats
• 1 cup crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons wheat germ
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, rice cereal, chocolate chips, coconut, sunflowers, peanuts, raisins, wheat germ, and sesame seeds.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows, peanut butter, butter, corn syrup and vanilla.
3. Microwave the marshmallow mixture at 70% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until well-blended.
4. Quicky stir the dry ingredients in to the marshmallow mixture. You'll have to work quickly as the mix will get gooey fast.
5. Spread into a greased 13-in. X 9-in. X 2-in. baking pan. To flatten the granola bars, I spray the BOTTOM of a second baking pan with cooking spray, nest this second pan on top of the pan with the mix and press down hard.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes.
7. Cool and cut into 24 bars.
