Crunchies

Note: My friend, Di, gave me this recipe for our geography fair. It is one of her childhood recipes from home (South Africa). She said that she made it recently when going to a reunion and all the kids just went nuts over it! Her daughter eats it for breakfast. My hubs loves it!

2 cups oats

1 cup coconut

    What is meant by golden syrup? Honey, white corn syrup?

    Looks great! And all of the ingredients are staples in my pantry, which is even better. Golden syrup is Karo Syrup, right?
