Energy Bars

Submitted by - Helen Fogden - Australia

100g (3.5 oz) butter
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup orange juice
11/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 cup wholegrain plain flour
1/2 cup wholegrain self raising flour

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup diced dried apricots
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup Nestle Milk Chocolate Choc Bits

Combine butter, honey and orange juice in a small saucepan, then stir over heat until melted. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Combine the oats, sifted flours, sugar, apricots, pecans and choc bits in a large bowl. Add the butter mixture and stir until all dry ingredients are moistened. Press mixture firmly into a greased 19x29cm lamington pan. Bake at 180 C (350 degrees F) for about 30 minutes, or until top is lightly browned. Cool in pan before cutting into bars.

Bars will keep for several days if stored in an airtight container in a cool place. Or they can be individually wrapped in plastic wrap then placed into a freezer bag and frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature as required
