In answer to the requests that I received, this is a recipe I found on the 
net:

Raisin and Cardamom Granola Bars - 2 cups old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup packed 
brown raisins 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom 
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 3 
tablespoons honey. Preheat oven to 350¡F and line 9-inch square baking pan 
with foil, allowing foil to extend over sides; butter foil.Mix oats, raisins, 
pecans and cardamon in bowl.Combine butter, sugar and honey in medium 
saucepan.  Stir oven medium heat until butter melts and mixture is smooth and 
begins to boil. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until well 
coated.Transfer to prepared pan. Using spatula, press mixture evenly into 
pan.Bake until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.Transfer to rack and 
cool.  Using foil as aid, lift out of pan; place on work surface and cut into 
18 bars.

Note: I did not use cardamon and I added dried fruits & other nuts.  You can 
vary the recipe with a trail mix with coconut and other things.  You wrap the 
individual bars in foil and they keep for at least 10 days.
