Muesli Square

I have very fond memories of this recipe. My Grandma used to make and send it to me during exam time when I was at University. A single bite takes me straight back.

It is a delicious square but it needs some love in the making process but the effort it worth it. You can use a mixture of whichever dried fruits you have on hand, and/or the quantity of muesli-just make sure that the volume of your dry ingredients remains the same.
