Helpful Hints:

Breakfast has been proven to be the most important meal of the day, and this tasty bar features four different food groups! The dry milk adds secret nutrition -- calcium, to help make strong bones. These bars are easy to make, and make great snacks - they pack well.

Safety Tip:

If young hands find the mixture too warm to press out, try slipping plastic bags over the hands before patting mixture. The ingredients won't stick, and the mixture can be pressed while still warm.
