Supper Daddy Bars
Recipe By : Fatfree.com

1 1/2 c. grape nuts cereal -- (1 1/2 to 3)
1 package date pieces (8-12 oz)
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Put everything but the raisins in a food processor and process for 4 minutes. Add the raisins and process for 1 more minutes. Shape into whatever shape you want... I've heard that dinosaurs and Power Rangers are especially tasty. It's a little sticky; they're easier to shape if you dip your hands in water occasionally. They come out of the food processor a bit warm and soft; they firm up as they cool. I wrap them individually (plastic wrap, aluminum foil or waxed paper) so they don't stick together and refrigerate them.

All proportions are flexible. The consistency is determined by the fruit/cereal ratio: more fruit makes them chewier, more cereal makes them more crumbly. The prunes are stickiest, so they need more cereal (closer to 3 cups); the dates need the least (closer to 1 1/2 cups). Figs are somewhere in the middle. Also, adding the raisins near the end leaves little raisin chunkies that offer a nice textural contrast. Other dried fruits (peaches, apricots, etc.) would probably be good too. They keep well for a week or so, although they get firmer as they get older.
