These multiseed cranberry energy bars are the best thing since sliced bread! They are definitely great for those days where you are on the go! Great for a snack in between meals or a quick breakfast! The secret to making these energy bars perfect is in the honey. To make sure that all of the delicious and nutritious seeds stay together it is critical that the honey hits the right boiling temperature. To do this you have to make sure to boil the honey with the salt until it starts to become a smooth liquid that resembles water in its viscosity. The honey will be a shiny and golden colour, but make sure to not the honey boil otherwise its past the point of being able to act as a cohesive and is closer to becoming almost completely evaporized. Although if you don't heat the honey warm enough the seeds won't harden to form a bar and will be gooey, the consistency is actually very similar to making Rice Krispies in a sense due to the elasticity of the marshmallows! As for the seeds and dried fruits in these bars feel free to make your own changes to this recipe through substitution and other means! Although if you are going to use any nuts or seeds be sure to roast them first to add a whole other texture and flavour. Once you make these bars you'll never want to buy bars from your local grocery store ever again! They are so easy and quick to make that the large tray of bars you initially had, will make you wonder where they all went! If you like to prepare your meals ahead of time be sure to cut the mixture into squares with a knife and to wrap them in saran wrap to keep them fresh! Although, if you did make the mistake of underheating your honey don't fret because now you have just created yourself a delicious cereal! To do this you just scoop your preferred amount of the honey covered seed mixture into a bowl with milk and voila a new invention that sometimes tastes even better! It's also a great go to breakfast for kids and parents who want a healthier alternative!
