Directions:
Butter a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spread the chopped oats, nuts and coconut onto a baking sheet pan. Place in the oven and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, extract, and spices in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.

Once the oat mixture is done, remove it from the oven and reduce the heat to 300 degrees F. Immediately add the oat mixture to the brown sugar mixture, next add the craisins then stir to combine. Spread mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and press down, evenly distributing the mixture in the dish and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Cut into squares or bars, wrap individually in saran wrap then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy.
