Recipe of the Greek

"When some mighty forest is all ablaze-
The eddying gusts whirl fire in all directions
Till the thickets shrivel and are consumed
Before the blast of the flame."
-Iliad, Book XI

In order to pledge our support for the victims of the Dionysian flames which are raging across Greece (more than half the country is currently on fire) Amy and I decided to make some no-bake baklava bars. Here is the recipe for any who wish to support the Hellenistic cause and the non-baking of all things Greek:

Baklava Crispy Bars

2 tbl spoons butter
1/2 c honey
4 c mini marshmellows
1 1/2 tsp grnd cinnamon
1 tbl spoon grated lemon zest
6 c oats and honey crispy cereal
1 c chopped walnuts

-Lightly spray a 13x9x2-inch baking pan w/ nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

-In a large saucepan set over low heat melt the butter w/ the honey, stirring until blended. Add the marshmellows, cinnamon, and lemon zest; cook and stir until melted and blended.

-Add the cereal and walnuts; mix well. With a large square of wax paper; press cereal mixture firmly into prepared pan. Cool completely. Cut into 24 bars. Store in covered containers b/t layers of wax paper.

-Makes 24 big bars.
