Ingredients

4 ounces canola oil
1.5 pounds marshmallows
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cooked barley
2 cups cooked millet
1 cup crispy rice cereal
1 cup carrot juice
2 ounces dried cranberries
2 ounces dried apricots

Instructions

Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; then add marshmallows. Reduce heat to low, and stir until marshmallows are melted.
Add vanilla, barley, millet, cereal, carrot juice and dried fruits. Slowly stir until combined.
Pour into baking dish. Press lightly with your fingertips until spread out. The harder you pack the mixture into the dish, the harder the bars are to eat. Allow to set 1 hour in the refrigerator.
