Tools Required:

Step 1:
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). In large mixing bowl, stir together oats, wheat bran, skim milk powder, pecans, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut and almonds. In saucepan, combine honey and oil. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is very thin and easy to pour; pour over dry ingredients in bowl. Using two spoons toss and stir to combine well.
Step 2:
Firmly press mixture onto bottom of two lightly greased baking sheets, spreading evenly. Bake in oven 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Using a similar sized baking sheet or tray, place on top of mixture and press down firmly until hard.
Step 3:
Allow to cool completely on tray (for quick cooling, place in freezer). Break into bite size pieces in bowl and stir in raisins, apricots and SMARTIES.
