Caramel Granola Bars

• 3 cups Rolled Oats
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3/4 cups Raisins
• 3/4 cups Cranberries
• 3/4 cups Chopped Dried Appricots
• 1/2 cups Pumpkin Seeds
• 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
• 3/4 cups Walnuts
• 1 cup Ground Walnuts
• 1/2 cups Coconut Flakes
• 3/4 cups Butter
• 2/3 cups Honey
• 1 cup Raw Sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 375u0b0F. Line a 11X7 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a bowl mix the oats, cinnamon, salt, fruit, seeds, walnuts and coconut flakes.
3. In a sauce pan, add the butter and honey. Heat gently until the butter has melted. Add the sugar, keeping the pan over the lowest flame your stove has. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, and continue to boil for another minute or two, constantly stirring the mixture until it has formed a smooth caramel sauce.
4. Pour over the dry ingredients, mix with a wooden spoon and scoop it into the prepared pan. With the back of the spoon or of a measuring cup, press down the mixture.
5. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Take it out of the oven, let it cool slightly and then chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
6. When completely cooled, cut into bars.
