<< I had a granola or cereal bar recipe I inherited from the 70s, I think. 
 It had shreadded wheat, Karo syrup, raisins, etc. You crunched the 
 ingredients, mixed 'em up (real sticky), and pressed them in a pan to 
 bake. They turned out relatively dry and crunchy, rather than sticky. 
 Good stuff, and they could probably solve my cold breakfast dilemma, but 
 I've lost the recipe. Anybody have it--or anything similar?
