No-Bake Trail Mix Snack Bars

No-Bake Trail Mix Snack Bars

I am an avid road biker and hiker. Through a lot of trial and error, I have finally perfected a homemade no-bake trail mix bar that stays crunchy. The marshmallows allow the bars to stay stuck together. Other no-bake recipes I have tried always have crumbled as soon as you cut them.
