FRUIT AND NUTTY BARS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch pan by putting the pan in a 350 degree oven.
• Keep an eye on the butter, and when it's melted, take the pan out of the oven(but keep the oven at 350 degrees) and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over top.
• Mix this well and then press it evenly on the bottom of the pan to form your crust.
• Next, in a microwave safe bowl, mix together the marshmellow creme and the Nutella.
• Microwave this mixture for 30-60 seconds, just until it's smooth, easy to stir and a little warm.
• Drop spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture around the crust in little blobs.
• Now take your kiwi slices and evenly scatter them on top.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over everything evenly.
• Scatter the cranberries, cashews, milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips next.
• Lightly press down the layers in the pan.

• Store covered in the fridge, and enjoy!

NO-BAKE NUTTY OAT BARS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the oats, raisins, and seeds.
• Place the Marshmallow Creme, butter, and milk in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until the marshmallow is mostly melted.
• Add the peanut butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract. When a few lumps remain, remove the pot from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth. Add the oat mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Spread the oat mixture in the prepared pan in an even layer. Moisten your hand lightly with water and press to pack it firmly.
• Refrigerate until the oat mixture sets.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled oats into 3 wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 8 bars. Serve cold or at room temperature.
• For the homemade marshmallow creme: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let sit.
• Place the Stevia In The Raw in a small bowl and mix 1 tablespoon water into the stevia until it looks like soft marshmallow. Set aside.
• Place the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy medium-sized saucepan. Add 1/3 cup water.
• Cook over medium heat until the mixture boils and registers 225 degrees F on an instant-read or candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Continue boiling the sugar and when it reaches 235 degrees F (about 3 more minutes) start watching it carefully. When the thermometer registers 240 degrees F - "soft ball" stage - about 3 more minutes, immediately remove the pot from the heat.
• Promptly start beating the softened gelatin at medium speed and carefully pour the hot sugar syrup slowly down the side of the bowl in a thin stream.
• Add the stevia and vanilla. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture triples in volume and looks like Italian meringue or well-beaten whipped cream, 5 to 6 minutes. The creme will flow from the bottom of the whisk in an even, thick column.
• If not using Marshmallow Creme immediately, pack it into a plastic container, cover tightly, and store at room temperature for up to 2 days

NUTTY ICE CREAM BARS

Steps:

• Combine chopped cookies and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch square pan.
• Spread ice cream carefully over crust; drizzle with caramel topping. Cover with COOL WHIP; sprinkle with nuts.
• Freeze 3 hours or until firm.

NUTTY GRAIN AND OAT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8 1/2x4" loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on long sides; spray parchment.
• Bring dates and maple syrup to a boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat to medium-high, and boil, stirring often, until dates are very soft and maple syrup is slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. Remove date mixture from heat and stir in butter until it is melted. Mash dates with a potato masher or fork until as smooth as possible. (if you have an immersion blender, it will work, too). You should have about 1 cup.
• Toss oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, amaranth, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in date mixture until evenly coated. Scrape half of oat mixture into prepared pan and press very firmly and evenly with a rubber spatula to compress it as much as possible. Add remaining oat mixture and press until very tightly packed into pan.
• Bake, tenting with foil if browning too quickly, until loaf is darkened in color and firm around the edges, and center gives just slightly when pressed, 45-50 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let loaf cool in pan before turning out (it can even sit overnight). Cut into 1/2"-thick slices with a serrated knife.
• For crisp bars, lay slices on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until golden brown, 8-10 minutes, or toast as desired in a toaster oven.
• DO AHEAD: Loaf can be made 5 days ahead. Keep tightly wrapped at room temperature.
