½  cup coconut oil
¼ cup honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey, vanilla and salt and stir well to combine.

Place the puffed rice, cinnamon, berries, nuts, sultanas and coconut in a large bowl and add the honey mixture. Stir until well coated. Line the base and sides of lightly oiled slice pan (approx 26cm x 16cm) with baking paper and spoon in the warm mixture.
