Who has made this.
I havent made it before but have eaten it.
I am seeing different recipes, ie they have the same ingredients, the countdown recipe I have just says heat the oil then mix iverything together without baking. some other recipes I have seen say to bake them in the oven.

How have you made it!Cheers.

nfh1, Nuts & Bolts is a snack/nibbles option made with Nutrigrain cereal and various flavourings e.g. as in the following recipe from:-
http://www.alisonspantry.co.nz/index.asp!pageID=2145888925

400g Alison's Pantry Roast Unsalted Peanuts
400g Nutrigrain Cereal

This recipe is made in a roasting pan.
Mix together the top three products in the pan.
Drizzle ½ cup of warmed oil (your choice) over the mixture.
Keep stirring until all mixed.
Mix the other four ingredients together then stir into the nut mixture in the pan.

Thanks 245sam, I wonder how someone thought to put all those ingredients together.

LOL I didn't - I am a wimp!

kabbo, Dec 19, 7:38am
oh - I see - thanks sam, i saw that recipe and didnt read it properly. So it's 'not cooked' but you keep stirring it to keep amalgamating all the oil and seasonings.

i get it know lol.
