Trail Mix Bars

Teresa Ambra
Trail Mix Bars are fantastic fruit-filled cookies. Hearty and delicious oatmeal bar includes dried pineapple, mango, papaya, figs, craisins, almonds, coconut and M&Ms. Just like eating trail mix, but in a bar-type cookie instead! Terrific dessert for potlucks, tailgating parties and grilling out with friends.
