Apricot Trail Bars

Just following up on a request for a home made snack bar. This is a great recipe- one you can easily make for your children's lunch boxes:
Ingredients
1C wholegrain rolled oats                                   1 C chopped apricots (organic & sulphite free if desired)
1C desiccated coconut
1/2 C Wheat Germ                                             125g butter
1/2 C Chia Seeds                                               1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C Sunflower Kernels                                     1/2 honey
1/2 C Pepitas

Method
1. Grease a baking pan and line with baking paper (16cm x 28cm, 3 cm deep).
2. Toast the rolled oats, wheat germ, chia seeds, sunflower kernels and pepitas in a frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.
3. Add the coconut and continue toasting until golden brown (approx. another 4 mins).
4. Transfer the toasted seeds into a bowl, allow to cool.
5. Stir in chopped apricots.
6. In a small saucepan combine butter, sugar and honey over a medium heat, stirring continuously for 3-4 mins until the sugar is fully dissolved. Bring to the boil, and then reduce to a low heat and simmer (without stirring) for 7 mins. The syrup is ready when a small portion forms a soft ball when dropped into ice-cold water.
7. Add the syrup to the dry ingredients and combine well.
8. Transfer the mixture into the baking pan, press firmly with a large metal spoon to ensure densely packed, with an even surface.
9. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
Enjoy!
