Ingredients
For the Bar Mix
- 2 cup Puffed Rice Cereal
- 1/4 cup Nuts dry roasted and chopped, mixed
- 3 tbsp Coconut dried, shredded, unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
Instructions
Prepare the Jaggery Base
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of jaggery and stir continuously until it melts completely and forms a smooth, shiny syrup. Remove from heat.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the puffed rice, mixed nuts, shredded coconut, and cardamom powder to the melted jaggery mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Press and Set
- Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and use your hands (slightly wet to prevent sticking) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Cool and Cut
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once firm, cut into your desired shapes and sizes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Puffed Rice Bars
- Toast the Nuts: For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, lightly toast the mixed nuts before adding them to the mixture.
- Customize Your Mix-ins: Get creative! Add dried fruits (cranberries, raisins), seeds (sunflower, pumpkin), or even chocolate chips for a personalized touch.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet bar, reduce the amount of jaggery slightly.
- Line the Pan: For easier removal, line your baking pan with parchment paper before pressing in the mixture.
