4 cups oats (any type will work) 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp. salt Opt. 1 handful chopped walnuts or favorite nut Opt. 1 handful shredded coconut...I don't usually use this Opt. 1 handful favorite dry fruit , or choco chip mini ETC
mix it and bag it ...I will do about 4 bags To Use: 1 bag Mix 1 cup melted margarine 1 cup favorite jelly or jam (strawberry, grape, blackberry, orange marmalade goes great with dried cranberries, ETC) Now mix this all together...Press into a 15 x 10 (or two smaller pans) must be greased...bake for 15-20 min. at 375 degrees or until golden brown... IMPPORTANT: Cut quickly into bars and take immediately out of pan and transfer to a plate to completely cool...the bars will be very fragile so you might have to help them along and form them a bit...as they cool they will stay together ...once totally cool I individually wrap in plastic wrap and then freeze whatever I will not be eating...just take out of freezer and eat as wanted...these are VERY yummy!!!! one bag of mix will make approximately 3 boxes worth!
