Trail Mix Granola Bars?

Does anyone know how to make a homemade granola bar? The bar I buy at the store has almonds, sunflower seeds, cranberries and whatever. Any ideas? I take these to work; don't want a jar of loose ones.

just google granola bar recipes there are tons of them. I personally like the ones I make at home better than the store bought ones. Wrap them in waxed paper or plastic wrap. They don't last long. I use lots of different recipes but try to pack as much nutrition and fiber in them that I can.

Here is a recipe I use and I think it is very similar to the store bought variety you mentioned.
Chewy Trail Mix Bars

3 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Tbsp margarine or butter
6 cups marshmallows
1 cup old fashioned (rolled) oats
1 cup corn flakes
1 and one half cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries or dried mixed fruit
1/2 cup chopped nuts, I use almonds
1/3 cup roasted unsalted sunflower kernals
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish, set aside.
Combine peanut butter and butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat until smooth (about 5 min) stir frequently. Remove from heat. Add cereal, fruit and nuts. Rub some oil or butter on hands. Press mixture into a 9 x 13 dish coated with cooking spray or greased with butter. Let cool, cut into bars and store in an airtight container.

Here's the basic recipe I use for my homemade granola bars. Depending on my mood or what my kid's like the particular week I'm making up the recipe I'll toss in some coconut, nuts, seeds etc. This recipe is really flexible.
