2 c oatmeal

1/2 c craisins

1 c karo syrup (or 1/2 c agave nectar+1/2c karo)

In a large bowl mix rice crispies, oatmeal, craisins, nuts, and sunflower seeds.

As soon as it boils, remove from heat and add the peanut butter. Once incorporated, pour over top When all oatmeal is covered add the chocolate chips and stir. Spray a cookie tray with PAM and press the mixture into the pan. It should cover about 3/4 of the pan. Press down hard. Wait til they are cool, then cut into bars.
