Instructions

1. 1/3 cup Organic Whole Wheat Pretzels (by Snyder's of Hanover)

   Place in sealed plastic bag and crush into small bite-sized pieces

2. 2 Tbs ground flax seeds

3. 2.5 Tbs wheat germ

4. 1/3 cup rolled oats

   Mix all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

5. 1/4 cup Organic Peanut Butter with Omega-3 (by Once Again)

6. 1/4 cup Organic Raw Honey (by Wholesome Sweeteners)

7. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

   In a small saucepan add the peanut butter, honey and vanilla and place in low heat. Mixing just until the peanut butter softens and mixes easily.

(Make sure you press the mixture well with the wax paper or it will be crumbly.) Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
