Breakfast Bars

Mornings in my house are crazy busy. Sometimes I don't get to actually eating until after I get to work.  In my hunt for on-the-go breakfast, I came across this recipe for Breakfast bars.  These are super easy to make and taste like dessert for breakfast!  Make the whole batch and freeze them. I used a tropical dried fruit mix that had pineapple, mango and papaya.  Try not to eat all of them in one sitting!
