Directions
Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan and line with foil so that it overhangs.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, butter, and brown sugar and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the warmed peanut until combined.
Pour the peanut butter syrup into a large mixing bowl, and add the vanilla, cinnamon, salt, oats, chopped peanuts, and dried fruit and mix until everything is evenly coated.
