# Directions:
01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until incorporated, then press evenly into the prepared pan. Refrigerate while assembling the gummies.
03 - Pour fruit juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over the juice and let sit for 5 minutes. Warm gently over low heat, stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Stir in honey, mix well, and transfer to a parchment-lined small baking dish.
04 - Refrigerate the gelatin mixture for 45 to 60 minutes until set. Once firm, cut into small cubes.
05 - Remove the oat base from the refrigerator. Distribute gummy cubes, freeze-dried fruits, and freeze-dried candy evenly over the surface. Press toppings gently into the base.
06 - Chill the entire pan for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to set the toppings.
07 - Using the parchment paper, lift the snack slab out of the pan and cut into bars.
