I know this isn’t the most healthy alternative of muesli bars, but it’s great for a special treat or even cut into little squares for a party. My kids have grown up not eating commercial muesli bars since they are not failsafe, and in the past when I have tried to make something like them or made the baked versions, they were not very impressed. So just telling them that there were marshmallows in it I had their attention. Another reason I like this one is because it is a no bake slice. When my oven is playing up or in the middle of summer when I really don’t want my oven on, it’s perfect!

What do you mean by puffed quinoa? Are you meaning cooked quinoa?
No, puffed quinoa is not cooked quinoa. The puffed version you can buy at health food stores and is a bit like rice bubbles only smaller. It is used as a cereal. 🙂
Could I use puffed millet too? Is that failsafe?
Hi Natalie, yes you can use puffed millet it is suitable for failsafe.
I don’t have Rye flakes – can I just leave out?
You could use oats or puffed wheat to replace the rye flakes.
