Gluten Free Granola Bars

fakenameThis is aiming for two things - a sticky 'firm' granola and a flavor that's similar to commercial granola bars (which tend to have rolled wheat of all things.)
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup puffed millet
1 cup puffed rice
Heat the below ingredients until melted -
2 TB butter
2 TB brown sugar
2 TB barley malt sugar (adds a lovely nutty taste)
2 TB corn syrup (could use honey, but it will be tasteable)
10 mini marshmallows
Add 4 TB peanut butter and stir well. Mix with the dry ingredients and pat into a greased pan. Allow to cool and slice. I spread about 2 oz. of dark chocolate over the top for contrast.
Flavor is malty and nutty and pretty addictive. Due to altitude or whatever, this was a pretty dry mix, but at a lower altitude you probably can add up to 1/2 cup additions - rice bran, dried fruit, nuts, coconut flour, etc.
