Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine sesame seeds and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring until fragrant and toasted. Salt lightly, then set aside to cool.
  2. 2 Combine dates, raisins, apricots, cherries, chocolate chips, and toasted seeds in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop until small but not pasty. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in crisp rice cereal and oats until well combined.
  3. 3 Mix together peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until bubbly. Stir in powdered milk, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth. Pour peanut butter mixture over dried fruit-cereal mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until evenly coated.
  4. 4 Press mixture into a greased 10x15-inch jellyroll pan using wet hands. Cut into squares and allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
