Skip the store and go DIY instead with these easy apricot pistachio bars with almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes and brown rice cereal.
I never can make it from breakfast to lunch without having a little something to eat in between.
Lately my nibble of choice has been a Kind bar, those irresistibly convenient mixed nut and dried fruit snacks, but they are pricey.
Sometimes at $2 or more a pop, they feel like an extravagance even though their ingredients do justify their cost.
Always up for a DIY challenge in the kitchen, I tackled homemade Kind bars.
Inspired by my favorite flavors, I made apricot pistachio bars.
Roasted almonds, crispy brown rice cereal, pumpkin seeds and coconut flakes added an appealing variety of textures and tastes.
The bars were so easy that I may skip store-bought versions from now on.

These look amazing! What do you mean by crispy brown rice cereal? Is that an actual cereal… Or something you can buy in the bulk aisle?
It is basically whole grain/brown rice Rice Krispies. The brand I used is Erewhon. I bought a box from Whole Foods in the cereal aisle.
