Ingredients

1/2 cup peanuts, dry roasted and salted
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, roasted (or any other kind of nut)
2 cups raisins, chopped (or any other kind of dried fruit)
2 cups rolled oats or 2 cups instant oats
2 cups toasted rice cereal
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ (optional)
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla

Coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Combine peanuts, sunflower seeds (or other nuts), raisins (or other dried fruit), oats, rice cereal and wheat germ or flax seed meal (if using) in a large bowl.
Combine peanut butter, brown sugar and honey in a large microwaveable bowl and microwave on high or boil on stove top until bubbling (1 to 2 minutes).
