ok...the possibilities with this one are endless... I'm wanting to make dark chocolate cherry, or white chocolate almond. This time I made some plain, and some with cranberries. Good for you!

Chewy Oatmeal Cookie Bars

.25 cup milled flax or wheat germ
1 tsp cinnamon (omit if you are playing with different flavors)
.5 tsp salt
1 cup dried fruit
6 tbsp brown sugar
1c apple juice

Mix all ingredients and press into greased 9x13 (won't quite fill it) about .5inch thick, top with cinna-sugar. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
