Directions
*You may substitute 1½ cup crisped rice for 1½ cup of the oats.
Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Coat the inside of a glass 9x12 inch baking dish with light vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, corn syrup, vegetable margarine, peanut butter and vanilla extract, and stir well to the consistency of a paste.
Stir in remaining ingredients and work the mixture so that several large clumps adhere together.
Using your fingers, press the mixture into the baking dish.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 15 to 20 minutes until the preparation turns golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
