   NOTES:
   
   *  Delicious and nourishing bars for hiking or home -- This is a recipe
   that my daughter, Kylie, has perfected, starting from one published in some
   magazine.  They are ideal to use as trail bars, being both filling and full
   of energy, but are also perfect as snacks at home or work. When on a hard
   bushwalk, eating these is a real highlight of my day.
   
   *  The bars are best kept in the refrigerator, although it's by no means
   essential.  They soften in the heat but don't disintegrate.
   
   *  Any other cereal crumbs can be combined with cornflakes to make up the 3
   cups.  It's a good way to use up those otherwise annoying scraps.  If too
   much powdery stuff goes in, the bars can be somewhat dense. Using Rice
   Bubbles (Rice Krispies) gives a lighter texture.
   
   *  Desiccated coconut is best, as shredded coconut is too course.
