# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan and refrigerate while preparing gummies.
03 - Pour fruit juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin over the top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Add honey or agave syrup, mix thoroughly, then pour mixture into a parchment-lined small baking dish. Chill in refrigerator for 45 to 60 minutes until set.
04 - Once fully set, cut gummy sheet into small cubes for topping.
05 - Remove chilled oat base from refrigerator. Sprinkle gummy cubes, freeze-dried fruits, and freeze-dried candies evenly over the base. Press toppings gently to adhere.
06 - Transfer pan back to refrigerator and chill for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to set. Lift bars out using parchment, then slice into 12 bars.
