REMEMBER: always ask permission from a grown-up before getting to work in the kitchen

What you need:

½ cup of honey
3 tbsp Peanut butter
1 tbsp Coconut oil
2 and 1/3 cups trail mix
(look out for special offers in the pick and mix section of the supermarket as some nuts can be very expensive.)
¾ cup of rolled oats

What to do:

Put the honey, peanut butter and coconut oil in a saucepan and get an adult to help you.
Melt the ingredients together on the stove until it becomes delicious sticky goo.
Tip the oats and trail mix into a mixing bowl and (with the help of an adult) pour the warm sticky goo over the oat and nut mix.
Stir the mixture to combine.
Line a 20cm x 20cm tin with baking paper and pour the mixture into the tin.
Make sure your mix is dispersed evenly and then cover it and put it in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours.
Once the mix has set it will be firm and can be lifted out of the baking paper and sliced.
Present your delicious energy bars either on a plate or wrap them with food-safe paper and string for a special touch.
Store your energy bars in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days.
