Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 2 cups puffed rice cereal
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1 cup dark raisins
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Supplies

• Tw0 9- by 13-in. pans
• Vegetable cooking spray
• Wax paper

Directions

1. Step 1

   Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a 9- by 13-inch pan with foil. Grease pan with vegetable cooking spray.

2. Step 2

   Help kids measure out the oats, rice, almonds, raisins, and wheat germ. Kids can pour all these ingredientsinto a large bowl and mix with a wodden spoon to combine. Drizzle the maple syrup and oil over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.

3. Step 3

   Spread the oat mixture onto the prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until lightly toasted and golden; about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack. Using a buttered spatula or piece of wax paper, carefully press down on the mixture to make an even layer in the pan. Using a sharp knife, score crosswise to create approximately 16 3/4-inch strips. Place a large sheet of wax paper over the squares and then place another 9- by 13-inch pan on top of the wax paper. Place several cans in the top pan to weigh it down. Let the crunchy dunkers cool completely.

4. Step 4

   Remove the cans, the second pan, and wax paper from the pan with the Crunchy Dunkers. Invert them onto a cutting board and cut along the score marks to create 16 bars.
