Ingredients

1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1/4 cup honey

125 gram butter

2 tablespoon peanut butter

3 cup oats

1 cup puffed rice

3/4 cup chopped dried apricots

3/4 cup desiccated coconut

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Drizzle

1/3 cup icing sugar

2 teaspoon Greek-style yoghurt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 28cm x 18cm slice pan with baking paper.

2.Combine the sugar, honey, butter and peanut butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring at times until the mixture comes to the boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes before removing the pan from the heat.

3.Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, pour in the syrup and mix well.

4.Press the mixture firmly into the lined slice pan; it will be sticky so use wet hands or a sheet of baking paper to press with.

5.Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

6.To make the drizzle, mix together the icing sugar, yoghurt and vanilla in a small bowl. Lightly flick the drizzle over the cooled slice.

7.Once the drizzle has set, cut into 14 bars (about 9cm x 2cm).
