healthy cereal bars?

[fliptheswitch]

I need a recipe for healthy cereal bars. Would prefer something that someones tried out, rather than just a copy and pasted recepie from Google.
Looking to put them in the kids' lunchboxes, after just reading the ingredients on the ones I currently buy from the supermarket.

Thanks.

cup of porridge oats toasted in a pan until they start to go brown, some crushed almonds or hazelnuts if no nut allergies, some pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds about half cup in total,
in a blender or mortar an pestle make a paste with dried apricots,sultanas and a little honey use it to bind the nuts and oats press into a tray and leave to go firm you can add chocoalte chips instead of the nuts or chopped dates/cranberries etc

Easy one

melt marshmallows to a sticky gloop stir in muesli and some extra seeds and dried fruit...roll out on oiled greaseproof cut into bars and allow to set

Deep fried mars bar?

There’s a great looking recipe for “fruit and nut energy bars” in the December edition of Runner’s World. However, I tried to make it, and made a bit of a mess of it, so I may fail the “tried it out” criteria.

But if you see the December Runner’s World (red cover), it’s on page 25.

OK, I admit that it's googled (rather than personally tested) but it does come with 26 excellent reviews:

Thanks very much for the replies, some nice ideas there.

Chris, I did see the Granola bar one, which looks really good. I'll package one up and send it to you... :-)
