How to Make Starbucks Chewy Fruit And Nut Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the following dry ingredients: 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans - your choice!), 1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, chopped apricots - get creative!), ½ cup shredded coconut, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup water, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut butter).
  6. Pour the hot wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using wet fingers, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 18 bars.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
