Granola Bars

3 cups quick oatmeal
1 cup Virginia peanuts
1 cup raisins
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup coconut

Mix all ingredients together and pat onto a cookie sheet.  Bake 20-25 minutes at 325 degrees.

TIMS NOTES:  First off, these are not being touted as healthy.  They have a lot of fat in the condensed milk and butter, and a lot of sugar in the milk as well.  It is, however, a good recipe! I use certified gluten free quick oats to make this recipe gluten free. I have no clue what a Virginia peanut is.  I use plain unsalted peanuts.  I also use unsalted sunflower seeds and unsweetened coconut.  Try this recipe once as is, and then play around.  Instead of the peanuts, you could add any kind of nut:  cashews, almonds, macadamias, pecans, or a mixture of nuts.  Instead of the raisins, you could add any kind of dried fruit:  cranberries, cherries, apricots, blueberries, golden raisins, brown raisins, a raisin medley, or a mixture of any of those.  Instead of the sunflower seeds, you could add something like pumpkin kernels (or pepitas).  Do not try to bake in a 9 x 13 inch pan.  This does not work!
