Unsweetened Dried Cranberries
Alternative granola bars?
I like to make granola bars today (you know, rice is Crispie, or Cheerios, scales, whatever). I have several boxes of different types of cereals, butter, Karo corn syrup, honey, corn syrup, brown sugar, sugar, brown sugar, 1 / 3 of a bag of chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, some candy (individually wrapped), nuts, cranberries, cherries, fresh, hot chocolate mix .... What we DO NOT have is marshmallows (or marshmallow cream) or butter peanut, and all the recipes I found call for at least one of them. I have a lot of cooking experience and the guts to try something new, so no I have afraid to experiment .... but anyone have any ideas for me?
This is a recipe for caramel popcorn, but I think it would work and a base for granola bars - using ingredients you have on hand. Instead of tossing and dumping, place your dry ingredients in a pan, pour the mixture over the, baking furnace and cut into bars. You can spice the recipe with nuts, fruits, and experimenting with some of the things you have. Once finished, make sure to document what you did so you will be able to remember in the future .... and may even want to undergo one of the sites recipes for publication. 4 quarts popcorn corn 1 cup sugar 1 / 2 cup margarine 1 / 4 cup light corn syrup 1 / 2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 / 2 teaspoon baking soda soda 1. Place popcorn in a large brown paper bag. Set aside. 2. In a 2 quart casserole or other dish heat resistant glass, combine sugar brown, margarine, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, then remove and stir until well blended. Back the microwave and cook for 1 1 / 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and add baking soda. 3. Pour the syrup over the popcorn in the bag. Lower top once or twice to close the bag and shake to coat corn. Place bag in microwave and cook for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Remove, stir, turn the bag over, and return for the microwave. Cook for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Dump the popcorn out onto waxed paper and let cool until coating is set. Store in an airtight container.
