Meanwhile, melt peanut butter, honey, syrup, and vanilla in a medium heat saucepan, stirring until the peanut butter is melted.

Allow to boil at least one minute, more if you are substituting flavored syrup for honey.
4
Remove oat mixture from oven, reduce heat in oven to 300, dump oat mixture in large bowl.
5
Add dried fruit and mix with liquid mixture.
6
If you are substituting chocolate or other flavored chips for fruit, mix the liquid with the oatmeal mix first, allowing to cool a bit before adding to chips to prevent them from melting.

Place a piece of foil or waxed paper on top, and then put another 13x9 pan on top.
