Recipe: Crunchy Cereal Squares (using corn flakes, coconut, apricots, dates and nuts)

Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, Bars
I found this one. I think it's the closest I seen, cause I have been on a search for something similar as well.

CRUNCHY CEREAL SQUARES

4 cups corn flakes
1cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup sunflower seed
1/2 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup pitted dates, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Place oven rack in center of oven; turn on heat to 325 degrees F. Line cake pan with foil; with pastry brush, brush foil lightly with butter. Set aside.

Measure corn flakes into plastic bag; lay on counter and crush lightly with hands. Dump corn flakes into bowl along with coconut, sunflower seeds, almonds, apricots and dates. With spoon, toss to mix.

Measure corn syrup, butter and water into saucepan. Place over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon, until butter melts. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to full rolling boil. Boil, without stirring, for 3 minutes.

Carefully pour syrup over cornflake mixture. Immediately start tossing with wooden spoon to coat cereal, fruit, seeds and nuts evenly. Scoop out into cake pan; spread evenly and press firmly.

Bake for 30 minutes. Transfer pan from oven to rack. Run knife around inside edge of pan to release cereal block. Let cool completely.

Turn pan over onto cutting board; peel off foil. With sharp knife, cut into squares.
