I love this easy no-bake recipe! It's an especially great way to use up food items you might have at home which have nearly run out. When I looked in my cupboard the other day, I had small quantities remaining of almonds, shredded coconut and muesli. It can be difficult to use up small quantities sometimes, but not with this great recipe. I gathered these ingredients together along with a few other things I had in the cupboard and turned them into no-fuss, no-bake, healthy bars. Making homemade muesli bars is much better then buying them at the store. Firstly because you're in control of the ingredients, which means no chemicals or other harmful additives get included, and secondly it means no packaging. They're a great idea for work or school lunches too.
