Units
Scale
- 3 cups Great Grains cereal (we used the Raisins, Date & Pecans flavor)
- 1/2 cup wheat germ

- 1/4 cup honey

- In a large bowl, place great grains cereal and wheat germ. Set aside.
- In a food processor, process figs until roughly pureed (still a little chunky). Add to cereal and toss to completely disperse figs into cereal mixture.

- Pour mixture into prepared pan and press down firmly with a strong spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for two or more hours to set up.
